99 Ford Explorer V6 no power

I have a 99 ford explorer v6. In the past two months I have replace the fuel pump, fuel line, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, starter, the bank one O2 sensor, serviced my transmission and changed my oil. In the past day I have replaced the fuel line again, the fuel pump, the fuel pressure regulator, and the filter. It takes about thrirty seconds for my truck to turn over and finally start and once it does you cant give it hardly any gas or it loses all power. Also when you stop it tries to cut out on you if you dont keep giving it a little gas. We are completely baffled as to what it could be now.

You mention no check engine light, and all the work you've done leave one solution; Your catalytic converter is clogged.

When you replace you catalytic converter your issues will cease. This is a very common problem, and a simple fix.

I hope this information helps and I wish you luck with your repair.

3 things I'd look at. First I would remove & clean IAC valve with throttle body cleaner spray, & port that it comes out of, put back & try it.
Next i would test "intake air temperature sensor", & The Mass air flow sensor. If you need step by step instructions on test procedures, go to Autozone.com & sign up for free, and get access to manuals. Go to emissions, then electronic engine controls on left.

Hi Kenneth, Have the fuel pump output pressure checked. The pressure at the test point should be more than three bar (+43 lbs per square inch) A gentle trickle is not enough, it should be a fountain! (Always wear safety googles before testing) Make sure you've connected the delivery and return pipes correctly and the pipes are not crimped or bent causing a restriction. If all is okay maybe replace the pump again. Regards John

Check the pressure regulater...Also make sure there is no kinks in the line..You really need to see a data stream instead of just codes..Alot of time people see a code and replace part you need to watch the pressures and see whats going on..Look make sure the vacuum line on the regulator is ok

First thing would be to replace the fuel filter. Then spark plugs. You may have a weak fuel pump. A faulty fuel pressure regulator could also cause this.

1996 Ford Explorer XLT V6 - will start but stalls after 5 mins.

This can be cause by many things, such as a fuel pump going bad / or is bad, fuel injectors need cleaned / replaced, fuel filter dirty just to name a few. Could also have a vapor lock where the fuel line is running to close to a heat source like the manifold or engine and the heat creates a vacum in the fuel line stopping the flow of fuel. Best bet have a garage repair shop look at it. To many hit and miss causes.

Where is the Schrader valve on a ford Explorer 1995 V6

I believe the schrader valve for checking your fuel pressure can be seen looking from the passenger side of the engine. It is on the fuel rail, which is installed between your lower and upper intake manifold sections, about the center of the fuel rail.

Hope helps (remember rated this) Good luck.

Fuel Pressure Problem on my 1996 Ford Explorer (4.0 V6)

Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is going bad...this will cause the fuel pressure to be high and create a flooding condition. Which in turn will gas wash the motor and contaminate the O2 sensor with excessive fuel. Check fuel pressure with a gauge at the valve you are using to relieve pressure. You can find pressure specs on-line for that particular vechicle. If pressure is high...replace regulator, O2, change oil and reset computer by disconnecting battery for ten minutes...
