- 1998 ford explorer v8
I have recently acquired a 1998 Ford Explorer V8 with a 5 liter engine from my uncle who recently passed away. I don't know much about what was wrong with the vehicle when it was parked other than the fact that it had a broken driver seat due to his weight and he was never able to fix it and get it registered. My dad and I are trying to get it running so that way we can teach his son how to drive in it in a year or so. And in the meantime turn it into a fun desert toy something street legal yet still mildly fun in the dunes. As of right now installed a new battery new fuel into the tank and tried starting starter turns over everything seems fine yet will not start I'm not sure if it's not getting fuel or not getting spark yet any suggestions? The only thing I have checked is the fuel shut off switch underneath the glove box on the passenger side and it is depressed
