- 2000 Ford Explorer V8 5.0
Just registered for this site and had a few questions maybe someone can answer. I have a 2000 Explorer EB V8 5.0 AWD, I recently replaced the plugs, the wiresets, the AC Clutch, and did all the scheduled maintenance. It was running very well until 2 days ago when I went to a new Smith's gas station and put 10 gallons in of regular. The past two days my engine seems to be misfiring and it is worse from around 1500-2000 RPM's. It was very coincidental that it happened a day after a got the gas. It seems to be sputtering at all speeds, had trouble starting and just had done a complete 180 from a week ago. Could it have been the gas?? Water content, low octane?? Whjat do I do about this and if it might be something else. I hate to ask, but I am unemployed right now and can;t afford a $500 car bill. Let me know what you think?
