I've got an Explorer 96 and every time I start the engine it desaccelerates until it stalls. It even bounces and jumps sometimes. Injectors have been cleaned and the oxygen filter changed, but the starting problem remains.
If the engine bounces it means that there is not enough fuel reaching it. You should check the shut-off valve, located at the bottom of the passenger's seat. That is the valve responsible for restricting the current to the fuel pump in case of any accident, and it may occur that it does the same when the door is strongly shut. Hope it helps.
Buddy you should change the O-rings or the cylinder head gasket that belong to the intake manifold. There are two sets of them, one on the bottom and the other in the middle of the intake manifold. In order to do this, you will need to take out the whole intake manifold, which are commonly worn out due to the heat. When this occurs, the car starts to absorb air through that place, causing your starting problems.
Good morning everyone. My car is a Ford Explorer Eddi Bauer, year 2005, motor 4.6 and it is having considerable acceleration problems. What is more, the air conditioning sometimes stops cooling. I've already changed the fuel pump, the fuel filter, injectors and coils. I've even changed all of the spark plugs but the problem persists. I mostly notice that it won't accelerate properly when I'm driving on an uphill road.
