My 2000 ford explorer runs rough, have tuned it up
replaced plugs, wires fuel filter, air filter. Are there any sensors that need to be replaced with the engine w/this many miles on it? Or other items to be checked out?

Thanks

Is the check engine light on? If it is then have the computer scanned for codes and get back to us. Autozone will scan it for free. The first thing that comes to mind is a intake manifold vacuum leak causing a lean misfire but have it scanned first.

Thank you for your response.
The check engine light has never come on and I have
had auto zone check to see if there are any codes to be pulled also.

I would look for a vacuum leak by spraying carb cleaner at lower intake manifold and see if idle changes.
