Ford Explorer: Power lose while driving, oh dear!

Could be a fuel filter issue, but I had one that was very plugged, but still
the engine ran fine.

The fuel line connection release tool is available as a set of collars at
NAPA stores, and most auto parts stores. Be sure to depressurize the fuel
sysetms before disconnecting the fuel lines, and a fair amout of fuel will
drain out once the connections are undone, so use caution and safety.

Any Check Engine Light (CEL) displayed?

Here-in lies a very common problem..... the MIL is on for a a long time and
there are no obvious drivability problems (why on earth would we do this to
ourselves???). Now, we have a drivability problem... can't have anything to
do with the MIL, right? After all, it's been on for a long time......

The MIL will set when there is a problem affecting emissions..... something
that affects emissions will usually affect fuel mileage. Sorry if it sounds
like I'm dumping on you but your Ford store needs a good, solid smack upside
the wee-wee. If something is bad enough to set the MIL, we should address
it....... especially with the current price on gasoline.... and especially
since we are all sharing the same air.

The only way to be sure of a fix for your 'current' problem is to also
address the original problem. That light is one of the very few ways your
car has of telling you it's hurtin'...... you need to listen a little
closer. I'd start with a code scan (jot the results down, clear them and
road test and scan again.


Good luck.
