1992 Ford Explorer wont start please read.

I'm putting my money on the fuel pump relay. At this point, it's the easiest and least expensive fix.

After 14 years, I'd hope that you shot a little oil in the cylinders just for good measure before trying to crank it.

Definitely try the relays before doing anything else. You can swap a few around to see if that helps. They're an electromechanical device and can stick or just plain fail. They're cheaper and easier to get to than just about anything else in the fuel system.

Briefly reading through the posts, I didn't see anyone suggest checking the inertia fuel cut off switch.

The vehicle has been sitting for 14 years, I'm sure it has been "bumped" once or twice?

Good Luck,
Dan

tank straps

I think i solved the problem. Im 100% sure the fuel pump was bad. I have dropped the tank & cleaned the tank replaced the pump. Im ready to install the tank but i forgot how the tank straps go. Could someone please take a pic of there under carriage so i could get and idea of where they go. 92 Explorer. Thanks in advance.

Did you try to reset the inertia switch? Its a fuel cut off switch that is supposed to trip when involved in a collision. It is a push type switch that is located on the front passenger side floor where the transmission hump meets the firewall at the top of the carpet. If the button pushes down, it was tripped. I had my Explorer stump me for a few days when I was doing some rewiring and something I did tripped the switch.
