I would take out all the spark plugs and perform a cylinder compression test and compare the results of your engines compression to a repair manuals specs and see if the results sumwhat coinside, if you find the compression to be considerably low across all 4 cylinders i would check your timing belts condition and make sure all the timing marks line up its possible your belt is worn and could have jumped out 1 tooth of valve timing causing extreme power loss in the engine.....

    In addition to bep86 well formed comment, it's possible you might have put a plug/wire in wrong order. It's not likely that it's drivable out of order but it's possible. While you're re-checking the firing order you may as well check the distributor cap.

Backfire is a sign you fuel/air mix is wrong. The backfire is the excess fuel burning in the exhaust. Have you got any warning lights on the dash? When was the last time it was last given a major service? A dirty air or fuel filter can cause issues.
Check your Air intake and fuel system. It could be starving the engine of air or supplying too much fuel to the injectors.
It happens at over 55mph because the engine is working hard and fast pulling a lot of fuel through to do it.

!993 Explore 4.0l When I accele I feel a surge in power..

so you gave it a tune-up?

possible causes of of loss of power:BAD SPARK PLUGS AND OR WIRES AND OR DISTRIBUTOR CAP.

GASOLINE FILTER PLUGGED THUS CAUSING YOUR ENGINE TO HESITATE. "loosing power"

AMONG OTHERS BUT THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON.

maybe the engine is worn......old engines tend to loose pressure and they start eating the oil, and also start smoking real bad.

this one is another casue of power loss too.

Power loss & exhaust smoke

Hi pcjlfc,

I think its a very good idea, to replace the oil filter, fuel filter and air filter when you replace the engine oil.
I will guess that the fuel filter is in need of replacement. It's also an idea for you to check the air filter. To check the air filter, use a very strong light and hold it behind the filter....If you can see the light through the filter material you're safe, if not you need it replaced. The air filter is a very important filter for durable engine life.

If that doesn't work, we'll need to learn more about what happened as a lead up to the problem.

Best regards Johngee10
