My 1998 Ford Explorer will not stay on unless I have my foot on the Gas.?

The other day it was really cold outside over night. When I went to start my car it wouldn't start unless I gave it some gas. It ran fine after that. When I went out for lunch it wouldn't start again unless I gave it some gas, but this time if I took my foot off the gas the car died. It's ben doing that now for two days. I had to two foot it to work today. Any idea what the problem is? I know it has to do with the fuel line, I just don't know what.

Have you inspected your fuel line? Its a metal line on the underbody, so it could have been dented.

Its easy to spot, get under the passenger rear side and its above you.

While youre there change your fuel filter. Then run some fuel injection cleaner.

That should cost about $10-15 and most likely will fix the problem in a mere 30 minutes.

I am not familiar with this model of car; but --

Seems to be a very minor issue with idling speeds. Your fuel injection / carburettor will need some slight adjustment. I suggest you take the car to some workshop. Should not take more than 10 minutes and a screw driver.

It sounds like my 93 explorer its the fuel filter needs to be changed and i would change the spark plugs to and put some fuel injector cleaner in it to. If that doesn't work its the control modular that the spark plug wires come out of.
