Open the hood you should see the throttle cables on the side of the throttle body twist that monster the cables are wrapped around thats your throttle if the motor doesnt rev up its a problem in the throttle body if it does then your throttle cable may be snapped somewhere

SOURCE: 1994 ford explorer

Sounds like the governor valve is sticking. The governor is on the output shaft. If this is a 4x4, the transfer case has to be removed to get to it. If it's a 2wd, the extension housing has to be removed to get to it. The valve is located in the governor body. It's aluminum & is bolted to the collector. You'll have to unbolt the gov body & clean it in solvent to make sure the valve moves freely in it's bore.

SOURCE: My 99 ford explorer cuts out and dies when accelerating in drive

You may have dirty or clogged fuel injectors, may also be problems with the ignition system. Might also check the fuel pressure to make sure the fuel pump is working correctly.

SOURCE: i have a 1995 ford explorer 4x4 ive changed the spped sensor got a new cluster and speedometer still doesnt work its getting irritating please any ideas on what it could be???

Check the sensor in your ******. most likely the only thing left. be sure to check the harness at your cluster for voltage to eliminate wiring or fuse faults.

When I accelerate my 2005 Ford ranger 4.0 ..I feel a viration from the gas petal..gas mileage has been horrible

Tune-ups left 25 years ago

Only spark plugs left

I think common sense tells you
your money was not well spent
& those issues were put in there

No one can tell you all the what if's

You have to test a vehicle to answer that

STALLS WHEN STARTED UNLESS I PRESS GAS

the iac code has nothing to do with the maf . the maf is your mass air flow sensor and it is in the air tube going to the throttle body. the iac is your idle air control valve that is in the throttle body next to the throttle position sensor

My 1999 Ford Explorer has the ABS and Engine light lit. When I put on the scanner, detected errors with the following codes: C1230, P0171 and P0174. What problem does my ford explorer?

You will need a book for that...and good luck at finding what you need, the Chilton Books, and others have cut their info. back to maintenance only...for the most part. go to AutoZone, They have a good system, and if you find a friendly Parts Person, they might be able to help you...or you can take it to a known, good, Mechanic...

2002 ford explorer runs really ruff, when idoling and accelerating,

If it hasn't had the spark plugs and wiring changed within 60,000 miles,I'd change them out.
Clean the MAF sensor with brake spray cleaner also.Don't wipe the sensor wires,though.They're delicate.
If this is not the problem fixer,then check for `ye olde vacuume leake',which always is a good guess when idling poorly. don-ohio

I have a 2002 f-250 diesel. Starts runs fine but gas petal won't work gauges don't move when pushing down gas. I Changed the petal but still no accelleration

I am not positive about an 02 250.. but most accelerators any longer no longer go like what we remember.. no more cable.. You accelerator petal is now connected to a cam the measures the resistance and transmits it to a computer and magic! you have acceleration...
Given that it and your gauges are not functioning I would look at your fuses first and perhaps your relays.
