I've recently moved and now the explorer sits outside until my garage is organized. Most days after rain or heavy dew in the morning I'll go out to crank it and it wont start. No matter how long you crank it wont start. I usually just turn the key to on and off several times and eventually it will come to life. Once running there are no issues starting throughout the day. I first started having this issue on a recent road trip. I came out to the explorer on a rainy day 2k miles from home and it would crank but not start. It wasn't till recently that the problem resurfaced. If its stored in a garage it doesn't seem to have the issue.
I've recently replaced the CPS, EEC Relay, & Fuel Pump Relay as they were all original. I've kept the replaced parts just in case.
I came across a thread here that mentions when the check engine light stays on durring a crank that its not receiving a signal from the CPS. This is what I'm experiencing. The check engine light is staying on while cranking. I know it will start when the light goes out when cranking. Is there any more theory and operation on this? It has a new fuel pump as of last July. Anyone have an idea on this?
