- 1999 SOHC XLT
Hello folks,
Registered member but forgot old email address.
Anyways, I was hoping someone can assist me.
1999 Explorer XLT 2WD, SOHC 6
About a month ago I was having No issues whatsoever. One evening I was topping off fluids, started her up for about 15 minutes. Shut her off.
About 2 hours later, returned to start her and she cranked but would not catch..got to the point the battery was losing juice due to too much cranking, so I left her alone and called a mobile mechanic to check her out the following Monday (she dies Saturday afternoon).
He diagnosed a fuel pump. Can hear it run with key, etc. Checked the pressure, was low. Replaced fuel filter, still nothing. Changed out fuel pump, still nothing.
Discovered leaky fuel damper on fuel rail. Ordered the part.
Starts only when you floor the throttle pedal to let in more air..takes a few cranks...starts up. Put in gear it dies. Feather the throttle while putting in gear..moves.
Replaced the IAC valve, started okay one time, then back to the throttle assist. Replaced TPS just in case..seems harder to start. Replaced PCV valve, was oily and also cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body housing, intake etc. Reset PCM by disconnecting negative cable and jumper that to the positive cable to clear all stored settings.
Started her up afterwards...still had to floor the throttle..and had to keep it up 3000 rpm....let off she slowly lost revs..more steady throttle to keep revs up ...let off she dies.
Tried to start up again (still with foot on throttle) she dies immediately.
Any help???
