IAC, O2s and faulty TCC torque converter clutch solenoids all three can cause this. As said above a dirty throttle body causes this and would be a quick and cheaper first check.

In most cases as mentioned above the IAC can contribute but in your case sounds like your Throttle Control Position Sensor Switch eith er has a bad connection or the switch is bad all together. they are betwen 25 and 40 dollars any parts store stocks it.

SOURCE: How often do I need

Well, that is a matter of opinion. I really prefer every 2500 miles. Your oil becomes contaminated unless FULLY heated up on every use. Oil can last a really long time, but failure in the oiling costs soooo much to repair, I just change more often. Perhaps costs less than a shrink....

SOURCE: Ford Explorer Oil change rest message

Turn ignition on. Don't start the car. When the message shows up press setup. It will tell you to press reset to reset the oil life to 100 %.

The headlamp switch will cause the lamps to turn off. The switch heats up and turns the headlamps off. It will cool down and work for about 10 minutes and cut out,

Try disconnecting the battery for five minutes to reset the computer. You might want to write down your radio station settings. Some radios retain memory and some don't.

1994 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 wont go into Drive???

Question edited for clarity, full year make model
Question moved to sub category.

It appears to have history. A bit worrying you say 'kinda changed the filter and fluid'. Most are sealed for life, and the amount of fluid is critical. If you drain, you measure what comes out and replace with the same amount of the right type of ATF.

You are not alone with issues

I cannot see any of the other comments that have possibly been posted to you by others. It sounds as though the fuel pump is not "feeding" enough gas and is peetering out at high speeds.....by chance have you done a fuel pressure check? Also, the fuel filter can give you some problems similar to this.

Waiting for your reply.......
