    My 98 Died

    Yes, you need enough pressure to start and sustain running.. Do the test as lined above. I had an issue with mine a few months ago and it wouldn't start until at least 35psi . You should have around 60 if i remember corectly.

    Thinking about buying this Explorer

    Need to make one more point....These vehicles are 10-13 yrs old...The odds of finding a perfect one aren't too good....Or one with maint records...Especially one from a little side road dealer...So,if you want a dependable truck,,you need to expect to put some $$ into it right after buying...Oil...
