Hello fellow Explorers!
I desperately need your help. My Dad's 2005 Explorer XLT 4.0 SOHC will not turn over anymore.
Initial problem was that it would run extremely rough, and backfire every now and then. Replaced ignition coil, spark plugs & wires, crankshaft sensor. It started running a bit better, but not completely better.
Then when the truck reached mid-temp the engine would just turn off and not start again until it cooled. This started occurring right when he got gas... I had figured he got bad gas, so I drained the tank, and replaced the fuel filter. This didn't solve the problem. Soon after I had tried to start it, the truck ran for 3-5 seconds EXTREMELY rough, and kicked off. Now it won't turn over at all. So I tried replacing the fuel pump! With no improvements!!!
We've had a death close in the family (as you can see my Dad here: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loca...ected-Death-on-Carnival-Cruise-248036511.html), and of course we're all strapped for cash because of it or I'd give up and take it to a shop at this point. Of course cannot afford it.
Needless to say, my hands are busted up and I desperately need help from you all!!!!! All help trying to figure out this problem is GREATLY appreciated!!!!
