I've got a 92 Explorer, and last night I went out to leave, and when it cranked, it took a few tries to get it to turn over, and then when it did, the rpms went up higher than normal and eventually came down to idle and then died out. Even after a few more tries turning it over, it kept going to idle and then down to stall. I cant seem to figure out what the problem is. I think it is either electrical or in the fuel system. I drove it a little earlier, but you have to keep threading it the gas so it doesnt idle down. Makes driving in the inner-city a bitch. Once the engine got hot, it seemed to be a little better, but still shook really bad (for a very good running engine) and still wanted to die out idling at stop lights.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
