Back to explorers

[Jayfez]

Hi guys, getting back into an explorer in the shape of a 2000 north face on gas. The previous owner says it cut out while driving to work and now turns over but so t fire, is there any common faults that might cause thus ? Would love to be on The road by the weekend lol

Fuel cut off switch tripped?
Fuel pump dead?
Crank Position sensor?
Snapped timing chain????
Dead Coil pack?
Run out of petrol and fuel guage wrong?

EDIT: just noticed you have gas. Could be as simple as a vacuum line being popped off somewhere. Recent problem for another member.

Well got the north face home and unless ford have invented a silent fuel pump, this one ain't running ! We're do I get get access to it ???

 

[FROADER]

Two ways.

1. Drop the tank

2. Make an access panel - http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182160

Who is a good source of parts in the uk ?

 

[janolsson]

well you can find a lot of stuff on ebay. Chris Quelch on here can help with a lot of used parts. People, myself included have also used Justin at explorerpartsuk but he doesn't seem to be on it anymore tho i have not used him for a long time.

Here is a pump for you EBAY

This is just the pump and will need fitting in the sender unit or you can buy the whole sender and pump.

Rockauto.co.uk offer a good service to the uk so worth a look.


But before condemning the pump you need to made sure it is getting power. Check the fuel cut off switch, fuel pump fuse and relay.

Will do cheers, sure I can fit the pump to the sender unit. Literally dragged it home last night so I'll have a good look on Saturday, can't wait to get her fired up !!
