2001 Explorer problems

This explorer has the 4.0L v6 in it. I don't know much about this engine so I ask advice. A couple months ago it wouldn't start and it was acting like fuel delivery problems. You could get it started but it wouldn't idle. But after reving it for a while it would idle fine. I figured it was bad gas and changed the fuel filter and ran the tank dry. It has run fine since then till today. It did the same thing today. It has been parked for about half a week but ran fine this morning. Went out to it later and it did the same thing. After some reving it runs fine. What can cause it not to idle at first. Is there a computer problem or you think there is something wrong with the fuel injection. You think i should run some cleaner through it... maby run some 93octane through it.

let me know

Pee-wee: I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, billion, trillion dollars!
Francis: Then you're crazy!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're a nerd!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're an idiot!
Pee-wee: I know you are but what am I?
Pee-Wee, Francis: I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I? (Pee-Wee): Infinity!
Francis: No, I'm not.
Francis, Pee-Wee: You are! No way! Knock it off! Cut it out!
Francis: Shut up, Pee-Wee!
Pee-wee: Why don't you make me.
Francis: You make me!
Pee-wee: Because. I don't make monkeys, I just train 'em.
Francis: Pee-Wee listen to reason.
[Pee-Wee cuffs his hand around his ear in a listening motion]
Francis: Pee-Wee!
Pee-wee: Sh! I'm listening to reason.
Francis: Pee-Wee!
Pee-wee: That's my name, don't wear it out.
Francis: Remember the first time I saw your bike? You came riding passed my house and I came running out to tell you how much I liked it even way back then?
Pee-wee: I love that story.
[Jumps on bike and pedals away]
Francis: You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!

First make sure no one pissed in the gas tank. I have personally seen this cause problems with that engine.

make sure someone didn't piss in it...your culprit will be the guy screaming in the restroom

In that case it must be the guy that lived below me in the smurf apartments....still mad that we peed in the exhaust pipe of his crotch rocket :D

seriously we should have a TAMOR bike rally somewhere, there are at least 6 or 7 in the club, plus Karl has enough that everyone else that doesn't have one can borrow. :)

umm wtf guys... get your own thread.... ps i hate you all

ok well the problem came back and the thing wouldnt keep an idle. I drove it up to the store (two footing it) and checked the codes... no soft codes showed so i bought a new Idle Air Valve and threw it on... seems to have fixed the problem... wished i would have messed with this more a few months ago before my girlfriends dad dropped 600$ getting it worked on and it didnt fix nothing.
