Hello All,
I'm new to this forum and need some help.
On hot summer days, if I drive my Explorer for a while (more than a few mins.) it wont start after a short stop (gas, store, etc.). It cranks well, but wont turn over. Just had the fuel pump and filter replaced along with plugs and wires. Problem persists.
I've looked around on the 'net and this seems to be a common problem.
One guy on the '95 and up forum pulled his neg. batt. cable for a few mins. to "reset the computer" and the vehicle started. I tried this and it did not work initially. Tried starting it again after a min. and it did start.
What is real interesting, though, is this. On another web site, a guy with the same problem noticed that if the "Check Engine" light did not come on when the key was "On", the vehicle would not start. If the "Check Engine" light did illum. when key was in "On", the vehicle started! That's exactly what's happening with mine!
Any answers? Thanks.
