Have the codes read. Some chain parts stores will rad them for free. They will probably be somewhere between P0300--P0310. If any of these codes come up, you have an engine misfire and will need to have a tune up.

Check all your fuses under the dash. Check fuse # 17. It should be a 25 amp that also feeds the cigar lighter. That is the fuse that powers the OBDII connector.

I have the same problem with a 2000 explorer with 90,000 miles. It just started last weekend. Since I use my power plugs, I know that what was suggested as a fix isn't the problem. Was it yours? If not, have you found a fix?
