- '98 xlt 4x4
I have a '98 4x4with the 4.0 SOHC. recently had the timing chains changed out. I sold it to a good friends son and a couple weeks later he was driving it on the road and the throttle stopped responding it killed over and he coasted to a stop. He tells me he would have sworn it ran out of gas had he just not filled up a few minutes earlier.
I picked him and the explorer up and started looking at it.
I checked the schrader valve and got fuel there.
The fuel pump runs for a few seconds and stops normally as it should when the key is turned on but not cranked.
I changed out the Crank position sensor and the cam position sensor, still no love back from the explorer.
The funny thing is that after it sits there for a couple hours and I crank it it starts for about 2 seconds then dies and just cranks over after that.
The Check engine light turns off when I am cranking.
lets see what else...
I tried starter fluid and it didn't change anything t just kept cranking over with no spark.
what am I missing?
