I have a 2004 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 v6 sohc. I have had a service engine light for a couple months. Initially it was giving a P0191 and P0193 code - dealership said replace Fuel pump and filter. So I took to a our company mechanic - could not get the fuel pump so replaced filter only. Cleared code - 24 hours later light came back and was a P0193. Took to a different shop - they replaced fuel pump. Another 24 hours later light came back same code. I have also replaced my fuel cap. Whatever is going on with it causes the vehicle to run rough at times and die. Other times it is fine - Now the air bag light is on. Please help - I have done everything Ford recommended and still no resolution. Thanks.

    Sounds like parts are being thrown at this without going thru the diagnostics for the individual codes. If all that has been replaced then I would lean towards a fuel pressure regulator. P0193-Fuel rail pressure sensor circuit, high input. Have someone do the diagnostics for this code to pinpoint problem. For the future, No code means to just replace a part, it means do the diag to pinpoint what is needed.
