Should i either buy a new 4.0 engine for my explorer or should i just rebuild it? it has idle problems and reaction problems. i push the gas and it takes a second for it to catch on. if you recommend i rebuild it, can you give me a list of all parts needed to rebuild it? Thank you so much

Clean out the Idle Air Control Valve and have the TPS/MAF Sensors tested.You do not need a new engine.And for further advice check with your motorpool SERGEANT.Coming from a Vietnam Vet.
