Well chances are you havent SeaFoamed your explorer, well lately, but I did it yesterday to my 95, which still isnt on the road, waiting til I get an alt, and whatnot, anyways

I SeaFoamed it yesterday through the Brake Booster vaccum hose, and the little rubber gasket on my 92 for the line ripped, from being dry-rotted, so it wasnt a tight seal, so I swapped with the 95's and left the broken one in my 92, meaning to goto AutoZone to get a new one, and forgot, so I got home tonight, wanted to turn the 95 around in my garage, started it up, idled for about 4 secs, then i revved it a tad, and it went to about 1500, then 400 for a sec then back up to norm, then kept going from normal, to about 400, making it wanna die, lights dimming, etc, then up to almost 2000, got out, and realized that I hadnt re-connected that line, so if your engine is doing this, its a good idea to start at the fuel region, but check your vaccuum lines also :p and all those damn little rubber washer type things :D
