Hoping someone can assist me with this. I have a 1997 Explorer with the 4.0 V6 and I've had it parked for over a year now. I occasionally start it and drive it around my neighborhood to keep the battery charged. I have noticed that it took a few seconds to engage reverse and once it did it...

Update I finally found the problem. Today i removed the fuel tank and when I removed the fuel pump I noticed the filter was not attached to the bottom of the filter. I had the pump replaced back in October 2008 and apparently the mechanic did not attach the filter correctly. The tank was not...

Almost there Update: I checked the fuel pump and it's fine, the relay is also good along with the inertia switch. I added fuel to the explorer and it drove fine until the needle dropped below 1/4. Once it dropped to less than a quarter of a tank the same problem returned. I've driven this car...

No I have not. Where is the relay located and how do I test it. Thanks Inertia switch is working properly.

Thanks for the reply. Where's the relay located? I don't have a diagram for the block where the relays and fuses are located and I can't find one online. Thanks again

Check engine light does not come on at all and it starts again normally.

Thanks for the reply.It just shuts off as if it ran out of fuel. The gauges are fine as far as I can tell. Where is the fuel pump relay located and how do I test it? The problem started just 2 weeks ago and the pump was replaced 5 months ago. The strange thing is, it now shuts off when making...

Maybe someone can help me here. My 97 Explorer has been shutting off when taking a left hand turn. It seems like it is running out of gas but there is fuel in the tank. A mechanic came by and said it was the crankshaft position sensor and changed it for an atrocious $200. The truck still shuts...

My 1997 4.0 explorer is making an odd noise only when the engine is warm. My wife says it sounds like a steam engine. I checked the engine and it sounds great, the noise seems to be coming from underneath the vehicle. I now suspect the catalytic converters. Can this be the problem? How many...
