- 1997 Explorer XLT
Hello, I have spent a few hours reading through the forums, but I am still having questions. I have a 1997 explorer xlt. The car "turns" over but will not start up. A friend of mine, sprayed some ether into ? and it started
up but dies out immediately. He stated its only running of the ether. Im
not sure that he knows alot but he was willing to look at it. HOWEVER,
a few years ago, I had a problem with the engine not starting due to the
double alarm systems that were installed in the truck before i bought it.
Somehow, the alarms got screwed up and it killed the engine start. I don't
remember how my neighbor at the time did it, but he got it fixed and it worked fine. So, I guess after reading as much as I could I am thinking
it could be that alarm problem again (the alarm did recently come on and wouldn't stop....killed the battery) OR that it is something to do with the fuel delivery? systems. I just put a brand new battery in it the day he tried to
help me get it started. And it will start for a sec with the ether being sprayed. I'm stuck and poor (lol) any help anyone could give would be a life saver!!! Thanks in advance, CindyF
