won't start

So, I have been working on my explorer the past week. Repairing things in the rear end. I finished went to go take it on a test run. Tried to start it and it just barely turns over. I disconnected the battery fully charged it it's a new battery. Went to go start it again and same very...

I have a 2004 Explorer XLT. Began having intermittent problem of not going out of park. And, the tail lights stayed on when car was parked and no key in ignition. Without knowing it until it was too late, the tail lights drained the battery. I changed the brake light switch. Then, after charging...

Hey y'all. I gotta '02 explorer from a guy who told me after running hot he kept on driving a good bit in order to get it home. So I thought I'd be fixing an overheating problem but what he didn't tell me is its not running at all. It will crank and start some but shuts off immediately. Its...

'05 4.0 sohc. Started it up and it ran rough, fuel smell, then died. Hasn't started since. Put a code reader on it and replaced sensors (fuel rail, throttle, etc...) and EGR. It turns over just fine. Fuel pump and filter are good. When you turn it over it floods the 3 and 6 cylinders...

Hello, Just bought this car on Thursday. Ran great for a couple days. Sunday when I was waiting for a train it popped up with a fault in the all terrain, I lost awd. Then the gauges started bouncing all over, the heat blasted fully and I couldn't turn that off and then the car died. It started...

Aerostar won't start, battery good, dead silence. Left town, came back, got nuthin'. No lights, no radio, no power locks. No clicking. Silence. Battery is good. Tried starting with an external starter. Nuthin'. Disconnected battery to attempt a reset. Terminals are squeaky clean. New Interstate...

My sister drove her car to work parked it and turned it off, hours later after work she got back into her car went to start it up, the lights worked, the radio works, the engine didn't turn over, replaced the starter and starter solenoid (both 1 piece) with new parts, still didn't turn over...

Hello Everyone, I have an annoying issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. My 1996 Explorer XLT decides it doesn't want to start after being driven for 30 mins or more. Now this problem only lasts till it cools down say 20 mins or so. But if I drive it a ways, shut it off, then immediately...

Hi. My 03 4.6l Centennial with 270,000 miles recently began not starting. It has a fast clicking of the solenoid. Easy to jumpstart and after starting will run as normal (everything is bright and works normally). Turn it off and it clicks again. Battery is two years old (yes, I always keep it...

Many problems have started at once. First the charging light came on and off but every time I checked it was charging at 14V so I replaced the battery. That helped for a week and the light started coming on and off again but the car worked fine. Now when I go to start the car nothing happens...

Hi Everyone, I was not able to find a thread that seemed to align specifically with my issue. I have a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport 401A Package. This means it has the wireless key FOB with the factory installed remote starter and perimeter alarm. I recently used ForScan to remove the double honk...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport. I've had some past issues with loose battery terminals but none recently following a good tightening. This morning, the engine wouldn't turn over. The electronics were all functional, but there was no clicking sound. I would turn the key...and nothing. The...

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 replaced the starter and battery on my 2004 Explorer almost a week ago, and had been driving it regularly again. This morning however, it would not start, I have power, so lights, gauges, radio, everything electrical works. But the engine won't turn over, nor is there any clicking sound...

It wouldn't start and alarm goes off when I turn the key. It has a new battery, new starter/solenoid and new starter relay. I disconnected the factory alarm. Still won't start. Assuming its an alarm issue. Don't have a FOB. Help

I wanted to share my story in hopes of saving someone else the trouble we had. While driving to the beach (200 miles from home) my gas meter showed 12 miles. This car has always been extremely accurate. I was pulling off the exit to get gas and I lost the gas pedal and began to lose speed...

I bought a 2002 explorer Xlt 4×4 4.0L last month. The rear timing cassette was broke on the top. Anyway I stripped everything off and then pulled the engine. Replaced all 4 chains all the gears tentioners got all new TTY bolts everything, bought the timing replacement tool kit and the other...

My Mountie ran fine yesterday but this morning, even though it turns over fine, it isn't even trying to start. It shows a quarter tank of gas, so it shouldn't be out of fuel. Dunno if it matters, but the warning bell goes off when I'm trying to start it, and sounds different than when the door...

So the other day I was bored and I decided to clean out my air filter box (still stock with a spectre filter). Naturally, the previous owner of the car never did a thing to it so it was filthy. About 4mm of pure oil and grit all along the bottom of it. After cleaning that, I cleaned the sensor...

Ok, I apologize in advance for the lengthy post but we have tried a lot of suggested fixes but things have snowballed and I could use some advice. Bought a used 97 ranger 2.3 for my son. 109k. Standard transmission. Ran well for a few days and then got a check engine light. Code reader said...

Hello fellow Explorers! I desperately need your help. My Dad's 2005 Explorer XLT 4.0 SOHC will not turn over anymore. Initial problem was that it would run extremely rough, and backfire every now and then. Replaced ignition coil, spark plugs & wires, crankshaft sensor. It started...

Ok, 3 days ago the truck started and ran just fine. The next day I came out to start it and let it warm up and all I got was a click. Everything electrical turned on and seemed to work fine (no lights dimming etc.). I pulled the starter off (FYI, the starter bolts are 3/8-16 thread, even though...

Need some help! First off its a 2003 ford explorer. Was running great then shut off at a stop sign. Initially thought maybe the fuel pump had gone. Had it towed home and it sat for 2 months. Hooked some jumper cables up the other night and she fired right up. But after 4 or 5 seconds shut down...

Hi all, I have read through the threads (no, not EVERY single one) and can't find exactly my problem. This is a cross post from the new members forum since there are more readers here and this forum is specific to my vehicle Was driving along fine and the engine died. Multiple attempts at...

Hi all, I have read through the threads (no, not EVERY single one) and can't find exactly my problem. Was driving along fine and the engine died. Multiple attempts at restart with the engine trying (catching for 2 or 3 secs) but then dying. Checked fuel filter (good), fuel pump relay (good)...
