94' Explorer wont start

A friend of mine have a 94' Explorer with the 4.0 v6.

fuel pump starts for 2-3 sec when i turn the key, stops when cranking and starts again when i stop cranking. i checked the fuel shutoff switch and it was ok, and it have spark.

Any ideas?

Sorry, my english is not very good :P

Sounds like you might have an issue with the ignition switch (not the key cylinder switch).

Have you tried spraying some throttle body cleaner in to the intake when cranking the engine to see if it will start when it has fuel? Do you have a fuel pressure gauge that you can measure the fuel pressure with?

I dont have a fuel pressure gauge, i'll try and see if it will start with throttle body cleaner tomorrow, i think it will, since it does have spark.

is there a fuel line in the engine bay i can take off to see if the engine gets fuel?

Having fuel flow does not equate to having pressure as required by injectors... Philip
