Where is the vacuum leak on a Ford Explorer?
Vaccum Leak: you can use either compressed air (from tank or can) or a propane torch (unlit of course) to check for leaks. Just direct the nozzle slowly around any surface that may create a vacuum leak, and if you hear the engine change tone at any point, that is the sign of a leak.
Is the Ford Explorer losing power while driving?
Purchased this vehicle in July of 2016. Ran good for 2 months and than every once in awhile you would go to pass someone or try to enter the freeway from the on ramp and nothing. The engine stays running at idle but no acceleration. As you play with the accelerator it spits and sputters and than will eventually accelerate.

First, you want to make sure you have enough. Oil in an automatic transmission is not simply a lubricant; it is the hydraulic fluid that is needed to apply the clutches. If you find your transmission is short on fluid, be sure to top it up before driving the vehicle at all. Then you’ll want to find out why it was short, and repair any leaks.
