All HOAs are different. I already break the rules by working on my cars in the driveway and I actually like my neighbors. If someone were to file a complaint, I would have 7 days to cease the activity or face a $50 fine. I would then have 3 more days to cease or face an additional $250 fine. A...

Hahahahaha! You haven't seen my garage😳. I would love to have a garage with enough room to work on a car in it. HOAs can't do anything what you do inside your garage if the door is closed. I apologize for laughing.

Yeah, I did that. Matter of fact, I took the new starter to O'Reilly's for a bench test and of course it passed with flying colors. So both the old and the new starters work fine. With the starter out of the vehicle I still couldn't turn the engine over manually. Basically, I'm screwed. The...

Unfortunately, I think you are right. Unless I can find a cheap donor or a decent engine at pick-n-pull I might as well be looking for a new used vehicle. Hell, even if I did find an engine my HOA would have a fit if I were to pull mine and replace it with something else here. Ah, the joys and...

I'm such an idiot!!! I never put the trans into neutral! Ugh! BRB...🤯

Thanks for your efforts. They are appreciated. Have a good day. It's pouring buckets here.💦

I'll probably just buy one on Amazon come pay day. Like I said, I don't have one which means I have an excuse to buy one now,😆

My gear selector moves very crisply and without any slop. It seems to engage each position firmly. I doubt a hydrolock situation occured as I didn't have the Explorer running long enough to reach high temps. It's only about a mile and half to the store and a mile and a half back on 25 mph roads...

I wish I had one of those inspection cameras that I could shove into the spark plug holes to get a look at what's going on in there. Space is too tight for me to see anything with inspection mirrors and a flashlight. Heck, I even tried using the camera on my phone.

I tried to start it in both park and neutral. I believe the safety switch would prevent the starter solenoid from engaging if the sensor was reading the Explorer was in gear, or even if the switch had failed altogether. I'm so confused and frustrated.

Lol! Click noise appears to be coming from the starter solenoid attached to the starter. The starter relay in the fuse box is way to soft of a sound but I can feel it when I test it. Yes, I've used a very large breaker bar and more force than necessary to try to get the engine to rotate. Even...

Thanks for your reply. The whine appears to be coming from the starter when I hold the key in the start position too long. I'll get the loud mechanical click followed by the faint high pitched whine. I can hear the fuel pump turn on when I crawl under the Explorer next to the fuel tank and...

Thank you for your reply. I'm still working at it. Unable to test fuel pressure without the engine running. Unable to get any codes for fuel pressures from my obd port. Spark can't be checked if I can't get the engine to turn over. Airbox and filter are clear of any and all obstructions. New...

Hello everyone! I need your help. My '03 Explorer XLT won't start. When I turn the keyed ignition to start I get nothing but I do hear a solid sounding mechanical click followed by an intermittent faint high-pitched whine. It has remained this way for the past week every time I try to start it...
