- 2016 Explorer Limited
I have a 2016 Ford Explorer Limited with 52K miles. Every once in a while the following happens when I attempt to start it:
- Engine turns over but won't start.
- I pull fuel pump fuse.
- Attempt to start, turns over, burns fuel in cylinders? I put a question mark as I believe that is what is happening.
- Put same fuse back in place and starts with no issues.
At this point it might run fine for a few months or more. But inevitably the issue comes back.
If anybody has any ideas I would really appreciate it! I replaced the plugs but that didn't fix it. We thought it might be bad gas but we have been using premium fuel. I live in Chicago suburbs.
