I have a 2000 Ford Explorer, 4.0L V6. My problem is, it completly shuts off in high outside temperatures. Example: If it gets above 80 degrees outside, either driving down the stree or highway, my car will just shut off. Most of the time I can restart it, by putting it in nutural or pulling over and waiting a few minutes.
I get no warning lights or signals. First the gauges go crazy then it all goes off. In a matter of seconds. Had it checkeda few times and all that i could afford to change at the time was the fuel filter (which was filthy). I have been told it might be the fuel pump. but i need some ideas and hopefully some price ideas.
Thank you
 






Gauges going crazy points to electrical.
Check the connection at the alternator, battery and ground points.
Make sure they are clean and tight.
