My 2003 Explorer v8 will crank for 1 second and then just goes quiet. After the first crank, when I try to turn it over a second time, it is just quiet. I turned on the lights and they seem bright. I turned on the blower and the light brightness didn't change, so I'm kind of assuming it's not...

So I've been reading this forum like crazy regarding ticking/tapping/knocking coming from the 4.6... I have 02 Limited 4.6 with 128k and upon startup there's no noise (sometimes misfire, due to oil in plug wells, gonna change the intake mani and coils soon). Shortly after it warms up - 5...
