2002 Explorer wont start
It turns over but just wont kick in. battery good, fuel pump good, no check engine light. It did this a couple time this month, and finally started, not it wont start at all. Runs great otherwise without any issues. Just dont know where to look or what to look for. All fuses are good. Fuel pump safety is okay.

Welcome to the forum!
For starters, which engine does your Explorer have? How do you know the fuel pump is good, did you check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail? Have you checked for spark?
When you state, "turns over but just wont kick in" I interpret this to mean the starter motor is spinning the engine over (belt is turning) but the engine doesn't fire and start, as opposed to the starter motor is spinning but never engaging the flywheel. Is that correct?
