Hey there
So here's the situation, long time ago, my 95 explorer started to have issues when cranking, sometimes you needed to give it a rest before trying again.
It happens when the truck is cold and when it's hot, doesn't matter if you have driven it or it's first time in the morning, always cranks but sometimes it starts and sometimes doesn't.
When it doesnt want to start, you just wait... try again and it works. But now, it takes longer to get it running.
I performed the following diagnosis while it failed to start:
-Poked the little fuel pressure thing, fuel came out (didn't have a fuel pressure gauge nearby)
-Sprayed fuel right into the air intake, still didn't start
I tought bad spark so i started ruling things out, ended up moving the coil harness and the truck started. I replaced the wiring harness and it worked fine for a couple of days, but started to give the same issues.
I continued my diagnosis, removed coil, cleaned it, took it to Autozone to have it checked and performed a test myself with a multimeter, both test turned out good. So i placed it again back on the truck, again, ran fine for a couple days.
The symptoms came back, cranking, no start. I started checking online and stumbled across this post, so i went ahead and took off the Crankshaft position sensor, took it to Autozone and their tests concluded that it was in a faulty condition. $50 bucks later i installed the new CKP in place, but still no luck.
Tomorrow i'm putting some more gas on it and trying to see what's wrong, but any ideas would be helpful.
I have already checked the inertia switch, which wasn't active.
Thanks for reading and excuse me for any inproper english use, it isn't my primary languaje
