Ford Explorer Sport 1994 2 wheel drive 190000+ miles 5 speed manual.
Was sitting for about a month, now driving 30 miles to new job 5 days a week. ran great before and for the first week. Now mostly during acceleration and before shifting (approx 2000 RPMS) the engine shutters and continues running. Today however, the tach bottomed out but the engine was still running. it would not rev up past 2000 but would reach a spot and begin to surge. (think it went into basic programming mode). I feel uneasy driving in city traffic with the engine doing this, i am leaning towards the throttle position sensor but best i can remember it was chaged out about 4 years ago. Any theroies or answers would be greatly appriciated.
