I have a 91 explorer that has had some issues starting lately. The truck will occasionally refuse to start, but will eventually turn over with enough cranking. When it refuses to start it will crank at normal speed, and fire occasionally until I try to start it several times (like 3 or 4 sessions of 5 - 10 seconds of cranking). After it starts, it will start fine for several days.
It has very low power output. I could never get it over 3500RPM. I have ran a couple cans of injector cleaner, and had them washed at walmart. After the walmart was, I was able to get it to 4200 RPM for a day or 2, but it dropped back to 3500 gradually. The injectors all read the proper resistance on there terminals.
Today, we had a cold spell along with the rest of the country. The truck refused to start this morning and all of the day. It warmed up a little and I managed to get it started. It seemed to be putting out a bit more steam than normal, even after being warmed up. While it was warming up it hesitated when I gave it gas.
I am back to suspecting the injectors or something fuel related. Any input would be appreciated.
