Welcome! The "King of the SUV's" forum will get you squared away. Lots of knowledgable folks that are happy to help out.

 

Welcome to FTE!

You may want to go into 'User CP' and add your location and add information about your Expedition ( engine, trans, 2wd/4wd, prior problems, etc...). That will help us help you. (Think Jerry Maguire... )

 

Welcome,
If you could describe exactly what its doing, that would be helpful in an attempt to help you figure out what the issue is... =)

2001 Expedition 4.6

The truck doesn't like the wet weather @ all. Hard or no start when we get rain, which isn't that often so I have ignored it in the past but recently it has been more of an issue. Recently the truck stranded my wife but managed to start again and limp home. Then a couple days ago it came home on the hook. I looked through the forums here found some common issues and knocked them out today. I needed a new battery and that led to new terminal connections. Totally worth the :45 minutes to clean everything up and install the new ends. So now I had full cranking power but no fuel pump noise so I dropped the tank and swapped out the pump and filter. The truck started right up so hopefully I killed the problem. All in all I am in maybe 4 hours of time and 297$ and everything seems to be working fine.

Now I just have to wait and see if the problem comes back. Hopefully it won't and I'll forget allllllll about it

Does anyone know if the moisture/rain issue is in any way tied to the fuel issues I just addressed? I read something about the GEM module getting wet?
