My 97 explorer 2WD with a 5.0L V8 has been randomly bogging down on me, under load while turning, and going forward from a stop. It happens as I accelerate. It seems to just pause and then catch on. Idle is perfect. No check engine light, except for a purge valve circuit. Is my MAF sensor supposed to feel really hot? I cleaned it and cleaned the IAC as well. Any help is useful. Thanks
