Check air filter and clean throttle body with throttle body cleaner also add bottle on fuel injector cleaner to gas tank and replace fuel filter if have not done so in a while.

I have a 95 Ford Explorer that behaved as you’re explaining. I added the injector cleaning additive and changed the fuel filter. I then listened for the fuel pump and I could not hear it turning on. I don’t have the means to replace a fuel pump so I took it to a mechanic. It was the fuel pump. HTH
