1998 Explorer with 5.0L V8. Ran in to a intermittent crank but no start situation. 144k miles.
I noticed that when I turn the key on, I don't hear the fuel pump whine whenever the no-start situation occurs.
Fuel pump was replaced 14 months ago along with filter. When engine runs the fuel pump is quiet and motor runs fine..
I already swapped the fuel pump & PCM replays.
I also checked the inertia switch to make sure it wasn't tripped. I also checked the 20A & 30A fuse located in the engine compartment fuse box behind battery, they were all fine.
I noticed its been usually starting fine when it is cold but if I shut it off and try to restart it 15 minutes later, I won't hear the fuel pump whine and it won't start.
Twice it restarted after I let it sit for a while but a short while later it stalls out.
About 4 hours ago I shut it off after a 1 mile ride from a cold start. I tried to restart it after 15 minutes of sitting and it wouldn't. I just tried again after 4 hours and still no luck. Fuel pump hasn't whined with key on.
I thought for sure the problem was the PCM relay but I was wrong.
Any ideas?
