I have a 2002 ford explorer,73000 miles that is very hard to start in the morning. once started it will start fine the rest of the day until the next morning. Has anyone else had the same problem and if so any ideas on what is wrong with my explorer? efroehlich@comcast.net

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 2002-2005 section. Replace the fuel filter, check the ECT sensor, and clean the MAF sensor.

To the OP.. Any luck with your problem? Mine's doing the same thing.
I'll be replacing the fuel filter and checking the ECT sensor, clean the MAF sensor like mentioned above.
