Hi Everyone Help Needed:
I have a problem with my explorer not starting some times and also sometimes driving down the street and it quits on me I pull over and try starting it and all i get is a normal cranking noise but engine will not fire. Wait 4 or 5 Mins and it will start up. I go on my way, Like nothing has happened, runs great. it might not happen again for 2 weeks, even up to 4 or 5 weeks. but then sometimes I go out to start it in the morning and the same thing happens, I sit and wait and then it will start.
I have been trying to diagnose this problem for some time now, I did realize when it does not start that you cannot hear the fuel pump kick in, so I figured the motor turns over but no fuel pump, so i think that this means that the motor is not getting fuel? (thats why not starting!)DUH!
So I have replace fuel filter, Added gas addtives from auto stores, even a new fuel pump relay on a hunch? it was only $5.00. I'm all bummed, should I try a FUEL PUMP?
I have been reading some of the comments left by you guys and girls and seen a FUEL Pressure regulator part that i have no idea where it sits in the vehicle? COULD THAT MAKE MY EXPLORER DO WHATS IT DOING???
PLEASE HELP or try the Computer in the explorer??? Yikes Big Bucks! then is it worth it?
