OK so i bought a 1993 ford explore with a v6 4.0, when i got it we found out one problem was the fuel pump had a huge hole in the feeding tube. fixed that but it was still not getting over 3 rpms and stalling out, and jumping to higher rpms and jumping back down all at the same time my foot was to the floor and i was steady losing speed . so then i replaced the mas Flo, idle air motor, and the other one there that regulates the throttle. also i change the fuel filter and it has half a tune up but still problems. till i got a code reader ran on it then all my problem magically disapered till now there back and i have no clue what is wrong. i am also getting a strange gurgling from the fuel tank when my fuel pump turns on ? i need help ..oh code reader only said it was getting improper throttle response but no reason why ..

forget the code reader. obd 1 was very general failures.

you should have replace the fuel pump. it sounds like your pressure is too low. did you check the actual pressure with a gauge??
