i have this problem with mine too, check your battery guage, if its low then theres a bad ground somewhere in the engine bay. ive had two of my ground straps corrode and snap on me, so far. i found that it usually does it if i drive through a puddle or its rainy out. hope this helps

96 Ford Explorer check engine light is on also idles rough?

I've had this problem a couple of times with my 96 Ford Explorer. Either: 1. The car needs a tune up 2. A sensor is out and the car needs a tune up 3. Something is wrong with idle . . . needs to be checked The real answer is that you need to get to a mechanic asap . . . When the idle was loose, the car would die, but when a tune up was needed it ran rough without fully dying . . .
