Hard Starting Cold
My truck is a 97 explorer with the 6v SOHC motor. Twice in the past week it almost did not start. The engine cranked just fine but it would not catch. This happened to me 1 year ago and the dealership could not find the problem but decided to clean the Engine Crank Sensor. Since then I have not had a problem starting. Is this a repair that an x-mechanic can do myself?
