2006 Explorer Cold Start Issue

I have a 06 Explorer with the 4.0liter V6. Ive been fighting with ford for a few months now. When remote starting in the morning the car will attempt to start about 7 times until its able to start. It tries to start and it gives up and the horn honks. Then it keeps repeating until about 6-7 times it starts and it starts idling really rough but balances out. Then after about 10 min of warmup. Then I take off and it starts to stall and nothing inside the car blinks and no errors. But the car starts to jerk and after a few min its fine. Its been checked by ford they sayed they had to update the computer to correct a sensor issue. But I'm still seeing the problem on cold mornings. I think its a sensor problem as my 2000 e-250 originally had the same type of issue. But ford can never find the sensor problem.

Which sensor on your E-250 caused the problem? Might want to start there on the Explorer.

Does this only happen with the remote starter?

I believe it is just the remote starter. I totally forgot which sensor it was on the e-250 that was a few years back....

take a look a tthis....

Hi. I'm new to the site and I recently bought a used/demo '06 Explorer. Within my first 30 mins. of "ownership" I had to take it back to the dealer.

I am rational enough to realize that vehicles do break down and require repairs, I'm just ticked that it occurred "right away"!

Anyhow, check out this FORD TSB:

"DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL
  • TSB #05235 -- NO START WITH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INOPERATIVE. *TT (NHTSA ID #10020078, JANUARY 01 2006."
If that's not it, take a look at www.carcomplaints.com, you may see it listed on that site.
