- 1999 Ford Explorer
I have a 1999 Explorer 4.0L 4x4, It recently lost all power and shut down while driving after a short distance. We thought that it wasn't receiving fuel so we replace fuel pump and filters after it sat over night it finally started. My husband drove it to work and it was fine, when he was on his way home it did the same thing. A mechanic at work said it was the coil pack not receiving spark so that was replaced. It still didn't start; after some digging around they found the original factory key taped to the anti theft sensor near the ignition!!! Is it possible that if the battery is dead in the key that the anti theft system is causing the explorer to shut down while it is i drive and not start back up? If not what could the problem be?
