engine stalling out
hey guys,
first time post on the gas engine side of the fence, so go easy on me. my 96 explorer sport (4.0l v-6) seems to be having a little engine trouble. the engine cranks fine when i go to start it up, but it wont fire unless i give it a good bit of gas while cranking. if i keep my foot in it till it fires, then take my foot off of it, it idles right down to 0 rpm and stalls out. if i keep my foot on the gas, it will continue to run normally until i take my foot out of it again. replacing plugs, wires, and fuel filter tonight. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
