Hello!!!
I would like to thank you in advance for trying to understand my issue as I have no idea what I'm talking about....lol.
I have a 92 Explorer, 4x4, EB edition. I brought it used about a year ago, it has about 90,000 miles on it. My issue started about 2 months ago. It was taking to long to start or crank over. Now the problem is worse and it actually takes a few tries to get it started. I have had the spark plugs/wires changed last month and a new starter this month. I went to an Autozone and altho the kid was confusing, he said the starter, alternator and battery tested fine. What confused me was he said my battery is reading old but still "good". I just asked if it needed to be replaced and he said no.
I'm at witts end and scared the next time I try to start this truck, it will not. She drives fine after she's on...but I have to give her a little gas for her to crank over. I'm stuck on getting a diagnostic test or go start to replacing the battery. I've concluded that it might be battery related due to the check engine and battery light only coming on after she dies (from trying to crank over).
Please help and sorry so long!!
