1996 Explorer XLT
My 96' explorer 4x4 xlt has a problem. I live on a hill and if I stop on the hill and quickly hit the gas it has a split second hesitation as if it wants to die. If I put one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas and goose it really quickly, it will die. After it dies I can turn it right back on again and it starts up normal and fine.

It has been to the shop and had the following checked/repaired

checked for vaccume leaks
- checked all electronic sensors and componenst
- replaced plenum gasket set
- replaced intake gasket
- new IAC sensor
new MAP sensor
- complete tune up with plugs

It still has a hissing sound in the intake but it cannot be located. It almost sounds like it has a cold air intake but does not.

Anybody else had this problem?
 






in the tune up did you include the air filter and fuel filter?
 






Also, did you replace the wires?
 






Sounds like a classic weak fuel pump to me, did they not check fuel pressure?
how many miles
