wont start

Hey all, I’m new to this forum and don’t know much about vehicles and was hoping for some help with my 2002 explorer. It is unable to start or even turnover after charging the battery or jump starting. Moreover, there now is a weird noise that is coming from the vehicle when the keys aren’t...

Alright, so I’ve scoured the posts so far and found great info, but I’m left scratching my head... my wife’s 05 explorer won’t start. Quick history... Timing chain rattle led to full timing service. Car cranked at first, but had an oil leak. Fixed that, cranked and ran fine for a few minutes...

To give you some history. I have an explorer 2001 with 168k miles. I noticed O/D light flashing everytime I drove longer than 10 minutes or so. Then out of nowhere about 4 months after i first noticed the o/d light, I started it up and heard a bunch of noise in the engine so I parked it and...

So it all started with what I believed to be a vacuum leak. Although I couldn't seem to find it anywhere, then I came across lots of people saying that it was common for the Intake Manifold Gaskets to leak and cause a vacuum leak. So that's what I set out to change. After hours of actually...

Hey Explorer Fam. Happy 2017!!!!!! I have a bit of a problem. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0 and when I start it it runs for a bout 5 minutes and the starts missing, and cuts off. If I try to restart it it turns but wont start, as if its out of gas. If I wait for about 30 minutes to an...

Okay, so I'm at a total loss, hopefully somebody can shed some light on this situation.... So I bought this explorer non running from a private individual, they replaced the engine out of another 2004 explorer 4.0 and they could never get it running, their mechanic said the timing jumped a tooth...

We recently got a 1994 Ford Explorer that didn't run for a year and the owner wasn't sure what was wrong. So far, we have determined it may be an electrical issue, so we replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the coil pack. After this replacement, more cylinders fired but t still would not...

So my Ford Explorer 2013 Limited is giving me hard times.. First I was driving and randomly all electronics went off, back on and back off again. So i'm driving and non of the electronics is working, including speedometer. I stopped, turned the car off, and then it wouldn't start again. Start...

Hey guys, been a while! I come to you all with a problem. Aside from my two lovely explorers, I also own a '94 Ranger XLT 2x4 that I use as a daily driver. It has remained stock and in excellent condition, except for an odd quark that has developed into a problem. The Story: In...

My '97 Explorer XLT stopped suddenly the other day, and I needed towing home. I assumed the fuel pump had died, so bought another. However, after a bit of poking around, there is only 6V at the pump, as well as at the inertia cut-off switch. All fuses are intact, All relays are good...

I have a 96 explorer. I was driving and less than a mile after i left the truck stopped accelorating. I got it to the side of the road, the check engine light came on but the truck still was idling fine and the rpms would still increase and decrease. I shut the truck off and it hasnt started...

My explorer used to start with the key inthe ignition, untill it malfunctioned. The switch will turn on the dash but would not crank the engine. So i decided to short the inner fender starter relay with my key on the on possition for the car to crank and turn on. It was successful. My explorer...

I have a 2002 Explorer XLT 4.0 and the engine coolant overflow hose developed a leak from rubbing against a pulley (not the skinny little over flow tube, but a fatter molded radiator hose, goes from bottom of overflow reservoir to the low end of radiator)... but that's not the problem.... I...

Hello everyone. Tonight when I started my truck to leave work, it started fine, but then the RPMs went really low, and started to sputter. I hit the gas and everything was fine. Drove with co workers to Perkins for dinner. After dinner went back to my truck. Tried to start it again, and it...

I have a 97 Explorer that developed a problem the last few days. When I turn the key backwards I have power and all lights and gauges work. When I turn key forward, as soon as the "key lock" button pops out I lose all power. Could this be as simple as changing the ignition switch or is it gonna...

My 5.0L awd Mountaineer won't start. I was at work, drove home and then later that night when I went back out it will not start. The only thing it is doing is when you turn the key it make one loud click coming from right inside the engine bay area in front of the drivers seat. Is it a bad starter?
