I have a problem starting my explorer only when hot. It sputters like it wants to start then dies. Sometimes it takes 6-10 attempts before it starts. It always cranks right up cold. When I turn it off hot and immediately try to start it it always fires right up. If it sits more than about 2 minutes the hard starting begins.
I have replaced: coolant temp sensor, coil pack, upper and lower intake gaskets, pcv, air filter, crankshaft position sensor, IAC, spark plugs, fuel pump and fuel filter.
I have tested: MAF/IAT and TPS.
Checked for vacuum leaks, fuel pressure is 64 psi key on engine off, 64 psi running. Holds pressure for half hour or so, does not drop off fast (leaking injectors).
So far 2 mechanics have not been able to figure it out so I thought it was time to reach out on the forum.
