My '99 Explorer has been having intermittent stalling/starting problems. Problem began with stalling while driving with ability to immediately start back up. Problem progressed to intermittently not starting after driving (usually after short distance trips) with start up after half hour then over an hour to eventually overnight. Now it is stalling while driving with no start up for several hours (I'm hoping it will start later!!). We've replaced the fuel pump/filter/strainer and new battery/terminals. Problem is intermittent with days to more than a week between problems. There are NO codes coming up at all. Stalling problems occur with no noise or warning. Start up problems occur with consistent cranking but engine won't engage. The anti theft light does start blinking rapidly during cranking. I've tried disconnecting battery to reset anti theft and have tried using spare key with no luck. Mechanic has no idea beyond possible anti theft issue. Others have suggested crank sensor. Any ideas?
