Hello fellow Explorer enthusiasts.
For a couple a months now I have been experience difficult starting with my EX. It has 135k miles. The issue appears when the climate is hot (almost always here where I live).I have to crank the engine three times to get it started. Each crank lasts a couple of seconds and always at the third the engine starts.
I change the air filter and clean the MAF and the intake. No MIL.
Maybe is a fuel pressure issue?, or IAC valve?
Any advice will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.:thumbsup:
Andy
