You need to check your plug wires for cracks and wear. The best way to know if they are bad is to run your engine at nightr and look for any time of blue arcing spark coming from any of the wires. I believe that replacing the wires will solve your problem.

Sounds like upper o2 sensors are bad. May also be other things like a dirty idle air valve, fuel regulator, fuel filter, air filter, etc. Do all the maintenance then re-evaluate. And the problem with o2 sensors may not give you a code.

Your idle speed is pretty low. Adjust the idle screw on the throttle linkage until it is idling around 700-800rpm.

My 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0L runs rough and surges in idle and when you put it into gear. worse when you put it in to gear. It seems like I'm getting real bad gas mileage.

Check for vacuum leaks in hoses.

Fuel Filter for Sport Trac

If the car is running good no engine problems or poor gas mileage I wouldn't worry about it. This is done as preventive maintenance. Every tune-up parts have replacement recommended periods. Ignition components, all filters and lubricants should all be replaced the most every six moths depending on how much you drive. Its all common sense if you check your oil and its black its time to change it. If your brakes are screeching same thing and if it been six month probably well over 15,000 miles since you replaced the fuel filter it'll be a good idea to change it.
