- 96 explorer
hello all, this si my first post so thanks in advance.
I have a 96 ford explorer with the v6 engine and it has trouble starting. When you turn the key on the fuel pump does not always come on (you can hear the pump come on just before cranking) and when it doesnt, the car won't crank. Sometimes the pump does come on and it cranks fine. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced MAS but the prob was not fixed. I took it back and he kept it for a couple of weeks and replaced fuel pump and the problem still persisted. He could not find out what else to do. When you crank it, it tries to crank but just won't ever turn over unless the fuel pump engaged before starting. I replaced fuel pump relay without results.
The car has 220k miles on it but is still a usable vehicle if I can get it to starting normally. Any suggestions?
