I have a ford explorer 2000 4x4. I've noticed on very hot days (100+) when I drive around too long with the AC on, the engine loses power.. when I step on the gas the truck sputters almost like it's running out of gas. What could be the problem?
You may be experiencing vapor lock you will have to open you gas cap from time to time in extreme hot weather to let some air into your tank.or have a gas line cooler installed on yur vehicle.

Thank you for that input. I also changed out the fuel filter today (needed to be done anyway!).
Is this a common problem in this model vehicle?
Ok guys well I opened up the gas cap and left it 'mostly open' ... also replaced fuel filter yesterday. Problem repeated itself today. Could this possibly be an issue with the fuel pump itself? Keep in mind the temp guage is staying right in the middle... no signs of actually overheating.
Do you drive around with it open?
