I posted a question earlier about this. I am just not satisfied with the answer. 1998 Ford explorer starts jerking and bucking when accelerating from about 45-65 mph. I am having zero lights or codes. What is the problem? I have always had rice burners and the Ford seems less mechanic friendly to me. Anyone out there ever experienced this problem? The lack of lights and codes has me boggled.

You have a transmission problem. It feels like a rocking motion? Sometimes you can not notice it at low speeds.
I had one go out on a vehicle I had less then 12,000 miles on. Fortunately it was under warranty. No warning light either.

I have a 1999 explorer and it does that all the time and the one time the was a light it said misfire on cylinder #4 I got a Tune up and it went away far two months and came back. So now when it happens a just change the one plug and its good until the next time. And it wasn't a blown head gasket. I did get the tranny rebuilt last summer.

i own a shop,and the lack of a check engine light is kind of odd,usually they will turn the light on,the only thing that will not trip the light is the fuel supply on it,so it could be a bad gas filter on it or even a clogged up air filter,i have even seen a gas line close up a few times before causing this same thing to happen,there's no one perfect answer to this problem until you find it,there's a lot of things that can cause it though,and all we can do it throw ideas at you until you find it,good luck with it i hope this helps.

Tranny? Specifically if it is an automatic. How hard are you accelerating? It's possible it's having trouble "making up it's mind" about what gear it should be in.
I just submitted this then looked at the first two answers. What world are they in? (unless I just don't know about Ford Exploders.) As a rule, carburetors made their exit in the mid '80s. We are now in the world of fuel injection.

instead of dropping time and funds attempting one hundred fairly some issues, make it undemanding on your self. Take the vehicle to a AutoZone, areas usa, or any of the time-honored nationwide areas shops. they're going to, a minimum of i know for particular Autoznoe will, hook a working laptop or pc as much because it, for unfastened, and inform you the place its coming from. however if its in basic terms a foul sensor, or if a real undertaking like between the cylinders isnt firing. That way you know if there's a undertaking nicely worth spending funds to get fixed.

Possibly the tensioner wire which connects the flap between your gas pedal and air intake flap to let the air in to the carbs....maybe a good throttle body cleaning could do the trick.

With all that bucking and jerking, are you sure it's not a Bronco?
