    Solved:Starting/Fuel Issue-Wont Start

    2008 Ford Explorer V8 Drove fine yesterday afternoon. Went out last night and the truck started but was running real rough and when I gave it gas it tried to die. Turned off ignition and tried again same result. 3rd time it kind of got a little better idle so I decided to let it sit awhile. Came...

    2006 Ford Explorer 4.0 Fuel Pump Wiring Issue

    I recently replaced the Fuel Pump in a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0. It ran briefly and then the fuel pump stopped coming on when I turn on the key - no sound / no start. I replaced the Fuel Pump Driver Module and that seemed to do it for a day then once again a no start - could not get the...

    2006 Ford Explorer Starts with starting fluid and runs fine won't start on it's own cold

    I have replaced the Throttle Body, fuel rail sensor, fuel pump regulator, MAF sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump relay in the fuse box, and the air filter. The engine cranks but will not start cold unless I use starting fluid. Once it starts it runs great, smooth, lots of power and no issues and I...

    I messed up very badly

    I was doing my injectors and one of them came out and I noticed the o ring and the tiny plastic piece went into the engine. So I already knew this was done for at that point but I stuck this long skinny pencil down there to see if I could feel it and I didn’t. Pulled the pencil out and placed it...

    Seized Injectors

    When I tell you that all 8 of my injectors are seized inside of my engine I’m not lying. I’ve gotten 3 out but they’ve taken about 30-45 mins each of careful prying and penetration fluid. I stopped at 3 because the next one I tried working on really did not want to budge and I thought I’d come...

    1999 Explorer Fuel Pump

    Unfortunately it’s fuel pump time. I pretty much know how to do fuel pumps but I’ve never done it on my own truck. Anything I should look out for in particular? I know that lock ring thing on top of the pump assembly is most definitely going to be rusted beyond belief is there anything I can do...

    Fuel related issue

    99 Eddie Bauer with 4.0 SOHC - 220xxx miles. For about a week now, it acts like its not getting fuel. It will start & run in the morning, but as soon as it gets hot, it dies. And won't start up again until it cools off. It also likes to die at idle, and sputter and backfire. When it does run, it...

    P0191

    Keep getting a p0191 code "Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance" I've replaced the sensor and fuel filter. Fuel trims are where they're supposed to be. 02 sensors are oscillating. I checked as much of the wiring and harnesses as I could access easily and that's all good. I'm...

    How to: Fuel Vapor Line Repair (EVAP)

    So this is more of a "How I did it" rather than a How-to, but I decided to fully document my repair as I found no info on this before. I don't know how helpful this will be for 91-92 owners, but I'm guessing the only real difference in the systems is that the vapor canister is in a slightly...

    Fuel Pump Dead

    I replaced my fuel filter today so I used the method were you pull the relay to the pump while it’s running to remove pressure from the lines. That definitely worked as I changed the filter and the lines were depressurized. But now my pump isn’t turning on, I don’t hear the usual whirl sound and...

    Slow fuel fill

    My 2006 eb 4.6l won't take any gas and I'm assuming it's cause of that vent hose that runs up to the top of the filler neck. Ive read on a few forums here that ford made a redesigned vent hose, I'm just wondering where would I find that. Or if it would just be better to take it to a mechanic and...

    Check Gauge Light after Refueling

    This is on a 2003 Explorer XLT AWD 4.0L Whenever refueling the tank when near to empty (under 1/4 tank), the gauge will sit right where it was, even if filling the tank. Then about 5-10 minutes into driving, it will drop to empty and appear as if the gauge isn't working at all, the check gauge...

    Best way to relieve fuel line pressure?

    I’m going to attempt to change the fuel filter on my 2000 OHV and was wondering how to depressurize the fuel line. I’ve read that unplugging the inertia switch and then cranking the engine until the fuel runs out, is the best way. I’ve also read that removing the fuel pump fuse and then cranking...
