    2001 Explorer problems

    This explorer has the 4.0L v6 in it. I don't know much about this engine so I ask advice. A couple months ago it wouldn't start and it was acting like fuel delivery problems. You could get it started but it wouldn't idle. But after reving it for a while it would idle fine. I figured it was bad gas and changed the fuel filter and ran the tank dry. It has run fine since then till today. It did the same thing today. It has been parked for about half a week but ran fine this morning. Went out to it later and it did the same thing. After some reving it runs fine. What can cause it not to idle at first. Is there a computer problem or you think there is something wrong with the fuel injection. You think i should run some cleaner through it... maby run some 93octane through it.

    let me know

    Pee-wee: That's my name, don't wear it out.
    Francis: Remember the first time I saw your bike? You came riding passed my house and I came running out to tell you how much I liked it even way back then?
    Pee-wee: I love that story.
    [Jumps on bike and pedals away]
    Francis: You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!

    First make sure no one pissed in the gas tank. I have personally seen this cause problems with that engine.
