2003 explorer won't start

[Darik schradle]

I have good fuel pressure spark and good battery and it cranks just fine any ideas on why it won't start

 

[Fix4Dirt]

imo the "elements" of starting

- air
-fuel
-spark
-compresison
-timing

have ya checked the air, compression, and timing part?

welcome to EF!!!!

Any codes?

What motor? My first two guesses would be pats or timing related, broken chain, jumped a tooth. If it will start with starting fluid then it would be a fuel related issue

ah shoot forgot pats. is the theft light flashin? shouldnt pats pull fuel pressure, but if OP has good pressure...... or does it just disable the injectors?

I'm not sure. I'm throwing ideas out there, someone will chime in why it is or isn't possible.

anti theft system but it can lose key code, or quit altogether and your not starting not sure if it kills fuel or grounds somethingout
