1998 Explorer Problem Has Me Puzzled
I've got a 1998 Ford Explorer </SPAN>with a auto. trans. / V6 SOHC engine. Bought it new, has a little over 146,000 miles on it now. While driving at regular or posted speeds when I come to a hill, incline, or even on a level road, I will slightly accelerate and the vehicle will slightly surge in and out or have a jerky feel. Once I let off the gas pedal it smooths out. It does not do this if I accelate rapidly like to pass a vehicle or going down hill. The following is some background information that I have performed on the Explorer recently since this problem started. Changed spark plugs and plug wires, cleaned throttle body & sprayed appoved cleaner around oxygen sensor, and changed transmission fluid and filter. Thought I had it fixed and then the problem startrd re-occuring. A friend who owns a shop informed me that there was not much he could do to adjust or tune the transmission. He recommended that I add some Lucas Transmission Fix and see what the results are. So I drained the transmission fluid and added the Lucas Product so as not to over fill. Transmission would act up with in a few miles then smooth out and run great. Now it is back to doing what I described above. Has any one out there experinced this same problem? I changed the transmission fluid and filter once before when it reached 50,000 miles. Thanks, Ronny<O
