I just had (am having) this same problem. Replaced fuel pump relay, worked for 3 days. Got home tonight and could not restart after solving another problem. I tapped the EEC relay and heard a click and heard the most beautiful whirr out of my fuel pump. I am going to replace the eec relay in the morning. Store out of stock tonight, but will have one mid-morning. I hope this works, if not, I may just shoot my 94 Explorer.

i had the same problem with mine it was the ecc relay but mine was oppisite mine was stuck close so every time i shut it off and let it sit over 4 hours the battery would go dead they way i figured it out was that i shut the truck off and checked amp draw and it was over a .5 amp (not good should be like .1 amp max) so i left the amp meter on and started to pull fuses under the hood and the on that stoped the draw was the eec relay fuse so i changed the relay and had no problems after that so i guess it defintly can go both ways glad you fixed it

We helped a guy fix his Explorer himself, and it cost him $6.35.

I truly love this site!

Actually, two guys! I fixed mine with the advice found here. Major problem solved for $20.00, I replaced both the Fuel Pump and EEC relay to make sure it was fixed right.
