I usually use this one. Its really cheap, but it works on all obd-I fords and chevys....

If you want to do something that requires more than a paperclip you wont be getting it cheap. I spent over $3k for my scanner, and it was on sale. You can get a scanner with datastream and bidirectional controls cheaper but the obd1 coverage gets very limited on the lower priced units

Will a Metal Hanger or Copper wire work?

 

[rickybobby]

anything conductive should work

Well my explorer is cranking not starting need to know how to check this problem in order. I have checked the inertia switch was down hit it with screw driver it pops up so I push back down. The relay box clicks when I turn key on and I don't hear the fuel pump. So What is not grounded or is the fuel pump bad.

Did you test for power in and out of the inertia switch?

The fuel pump relay could be defective.

Rotated the Relays still no noise from pump and On ebay they have Fuel Pump Assembly and Fuel Pump kits One is noticeably cheaper than the other does it matter which you buy I mean I don't wanna spend 150 when I can put it all together for 30 to 50. I am almost certain the fuel pump probaly went bad because it has had trouble starting for past 2 3 months then one day nothing at all. Is there a way you can test the pump without any special tools?

Jump the connection in the fuel pump relay socket to see if the pump starts.
