Hey, I have a 99 Ford Explorer and it
cranks up good and when you put it

Try removing the air filter and driving it around the block. Could be blocked. Clean the throttle body and MAF.

The Fuel filter is a PITA to change - 3 ports and a disconnect tool under a shield or 2. Don't leave the shields off.
