You probably need to put some fuel injector cleaner through the fuel system. You can get a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in automotive section in almost any store. Usually 1 bottle goes in after the tank is full.

Is gas petal on ford explorer is almost on the floor,also it cranks but wont start

it may be your fuel pump, take off your air cleaner and pump the gas with the engine off and see if you smell or see gas, then try it with someone turning the engine over and see if u can smell or see gas, if not your pump is probably shot

After putting gas into the car, it will not start. You have to pump the petal and turn the key about 3 to 4 times and it will start right up and drive fine until you put gas in it again.

sending unit / fuel could be going bad or the fuel stock filter is getting pluged up when stir up the gas in the tank the sock is a filter inside the gas tank over the sending unit try changing the fuel filter out side the tank that could be pluged up.

I ran out of gas and put gas in out of a gas jug the car started but is running rough and is worse when i push on the gas petal

you need 4 or 5 gallons gas to be on safe side.could be too late damage fuel pump.never run vechicle low on fuel.fuel pump needs gasoline to keep it cool and lubricated.add more gas see if engine run better.if not i would change fuel filter all sediment was disturb when you add gas to empty tank when you poured gas in fuel tank sediment break up stop up fuel filter.change fuel filter see if car run better if not more like fuel pump over heat and damaged pump motor bearing.

How do i clear the change engine oil when i already changed the oil on the vehicle?

Try turning the truck to ON (not start) position and OFF position 3 times and then pumping the gas petal all the way to the floor 3 times.

If that doesn't work turn the key to the ON position and pump the gas 3 times, then OFF.

1993 honda civic

Try checking the snorkel tube between the air cleaner and the intake. Open the hood, and have a friend try to rev the engine, and watch the tube...my '92's was collapsing and starving the engine, couldn't get more than 3500-4000 rpm. Could also be a fuel pump problem like low pressure or bad line.
