Unhappy Frustrated

99 Expedition wont start.
Cranks (with ease. no hesitation) and immediately shuts back down.
Radio and lights still come on.

Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Are you saying that it cranks over and seems to start but shuts off/down as soon as you release the key?

See if it does the same thing with your spare key.

What does the Theft light on the dash do:
1. When you first turn the key on?
2. When you're trying to start the engine?
3. After you release the key from Start?

The theft light comes on and goes off along with everything else except the Battery light, the check engine light (which has been on since I bought it. I was told it was because of a manifold exhaust leak that the truck has), and the wind shield wiper light.

If you hold the gas pedal down a little will stay running? If so, clean or replace the Idle Air control valve.

Update: So I had someone come and check it out and he says its the Fuel Pump. It needs to be replaced.
He banged on it with a rubber mallet or something, while I cranked and revved. It started and stayed running.

With that said, I have another question (bet you didn't see that coming =)...

Should I get the Fuel Pump from Ford, or is it ol to get it from any auto parts place? Are they all pretty much the same?


Thank you to everyone who replied and tried to help, I appreciate it!
