2000 Explorer Sport. It sputters and stalls when it is shifted to D or R. Changed fuel filter. What else?

I have changed the fuel filter put the problem presists. What else could it be, fuel pump, trans or other issue?

a vacuum leak is a common issue.



It is not fuel related, since I assume that it idles correctly in park or neutral.



A cam position sensor would keep the truck from starting, and or, it would stall at any time if it was faulty - not just when changing gears.

ask the mechanic to to check the cams...
check the oxygen sensor and replace it. easy to do and not too expensive. it judges the oxygen content in the fuel mixture and when you go from N to either D or R, you're lowering the RPM enough for it not to be working and judging the oxygen properly.
