I'm having similar issues with a 2004. This seems to have timed out near the same time frame as well. I wonder if there is a bug in the Ford code that was set to fire off on or about the 19th of Nov. One person believes it is the anti theft system. reset per his method was: lock doors. Unlock with key. hold key in start position until fast light goes out. Start vehicle as normal. this didn't work for me, hope it helps others.

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

I have a 2002 Explorer XLT that begins to run 'rough' when it gets uparound 40 mph. It starts okay and seems to run okay. Any ideas?? 7 Answers

It has 92,000 miles on it and is serviced regularly. I know it's hard to diagnose, but I'm wondering if this is going to be an expensive repair.
