- 1995 Ford Explorer sport
Hello there. I drive a 1995 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0L and I've been having a problem starting it after the engine is warmed up. The engine cranks and it almost starts but it seems like there isn't any fuel getting to the injectors.
I searched through several posts here and found several tips as to what maybe wrong.
I have checked the Intake Air temperature sensor and the coolant temperature sensor. Both of the sensors are fine as well as the electrical lines going to them.
I have also checked to see if I had pressure in the fuel rail by bleeding the shrader valve, believing that maybe the check valve on the fuel pump had gone bad.
There was definitely pressure at the shrader valve however after the initial spurt of gas there was a lot of air bleeding out as well. I bled the air out then went to start the truck and it started fine and ran fine. So I let it sit for 15-20 minutes and came back and tried to restart it and the truck wouldn't start.
So I went back to the shrader valve and bled it off again and I got the same thing as before. An initial spurt of gas and lots of air again.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the air would be coming from and how would I fix this problem?
Any tips or suggestions would be great and I thank you for taking the time to read this.
