I have a 2000 Exspoler, when driving sometimes it will turn off. When make a turn it turns off, then sometimes it won't and runs fine. What is wrong, or it has the 4.0 v6.

Has the check engine light come on? Does it start right back up after this happens?

Let me know.

The sparkplugs get real black and have to be changed every month.

If the plugs get really black, it sounds like it is running rich. Since the check engine light has come on, you need to have the computer scanned to determine what is causing the problem. Most parts stores will do it for free. Have it scanned and let me know what you find.
