I have a 95 Ford Explorer that behaved as you’re explaining. I added the injector cleaning additive and changed the fuel filter. I then listened for the fuel pump and I could not hear it turning on. I don’t have the means to replace a fuel pump so I took it to a mechanic. It was the fuel pump. HTH

OK i'm stumped. I have a 2001 ford explorer(please keep comments about fords to yourself ). I've had 4 episodes where i was driving along with no issues and the even though i am excellerating the car stops running and the stalls out. Once i pull it to the side of the road and try to start it it back fires and qcts like it it out of gas but if you wait 30 plus minutes it will start and run for a bit longer then repeats itself a couple more times but then it will runs for days until it does it again. The check engine light is not on but the check gas cap is on. we replaced the gas cap and it is still on. The first time this happened I had it towed and the mechanic tightened the serpentine belt and fixed the manifold gasket. Does anyone have any ideas???? 14 Answers
