- 99 explorer
I have a 99 explorer and for the longest time I would go to start it and it wouldnt start. I'd let it sit for a few seconds and try it again and again until it finally started. I realized that the pump wasnt cycling with the key during the times that it wouldnt start. So after that, I would just cycle the key on and off until I heard the pump cycle and then it would start right up. Once running it never missed, stalled or triggered a check engine light. So it seems like the pump is working fine. I replaced the bigger of the two fuel pump relays (i was told that is the one that is related to startup) and nothing changed. Now, however, the fuel pump just wont cycle at all. It seems like a relay problem to me. I just have a hard time believing that its a fuel pump when once it ran it ran great every time. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
