Sputtering engine problems
Hello,
I have a 98 4.0L V6 XLT truck, and recently it's begun to sputter when I'm driving it on the freeway. It's the same feeling as when you are almost out of gas, and running on fumes. Could it be the fuel pump? Is the fuel-to-air mixture off? It's been getting worse.
The guy I bought this truck from did not keep any records, so I don't know if he's ever replaced anything to do with the fuel system. It's got 118,000 miles on it.

its on the driver side inside the frame rail is if i remember correctly underneath the driver door also sounds like it could be an electrical problems. i would also change my plugs and wires while your doing that might aswell do the pcv valve too... also dont get junk parts from autozone go with quality motorcraft or genunie ford parts esp. for the fuel filter

Okay, so the full tune-up worked before, but now the sputtering and lagging has returned. At first, it was sputtering when I'd come off the freeway onto city streets, but now it's happening intermittently. Went for a long drive this weekend (about 500 miles r/t) and it would act up whenever, no consistency.
