So I have a 97 ford explorer 4l v6 it turns over and starts on occasion but not so much lately. I have changed the fuel filter spark plugs coil pack o2 sensor and air filter in hopes of some miracle of a fix but still no go and another day of work is falling away please help

 

Welcome to the forum!

Have you made any attempt to determine what you don't have when the engine won't start? Do you have a way to confirm whether or not you have spark and/or fuel pressure?

There are several different things that could cause a no start. Understanding if you have good spark and good fuel pressure when the truck won't start will go a long way in narrowing down the list of possible causes.

Or you can just sit back and wait for the miracle..

What about checking for codes?


Pull a plug or two and have a look. See if it is getting fuel.


You can also check for spark

 

Check your fuel pump relay and your Ecm relay. I had problems with both of mine. And that would cause intermittent starting. It even shut down on the highway twice. But after I changed both of those relays never had any more problems.

Can you hear the fuel pump relay clicking and the pump running?

 

just for laughs..

Check the connection for the Crank sensor, front, passenger side of engine..

Corrodes and causes your fault...
