94 ford explorer intermittent start?
Okay so my 1994 ford explorer will crank but not start unless I have a battery charger on and press the gas peddle, I also have to keep applying pressure on the pedal to get the truck to keep running and it will idle from 600rpm to 1500rpms evendors die sometimes when i let off gas. I have replaced crankshaft position sensor, throttle sensor, maf sensor, ignition switch, fuel pump, ignition coil, eec and fuel pump relays, fuel filter, alternator and battery to no avail. I have checked gas pressure at Schrader valve, voltage on injectors, spark in wires and grounds from power relay box and solenoid also starter. I was told by my mechanic to check all grounds but I'm unable to find a wiring diagram. Any help would be very appreciative as I don't want to just keep throwing money at it. I'm almost possitive there's a short somewhere.
If you don't want to keep throwing money at it, why have you thrown enough at it already to REPLACE the car? Do what you SHOULD have done in the first place, and take it to a COMPETENT mechanic (not the one that told you to keep GUESSING), and have them DIAGNOSE the problem. I'm completely positive YOU will never find the problem.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Steve F. Some parts where purchased others i have taken off of my 93 explorer. It did however start, again and again no problems so I did a koer test throws codes 111 and 211. 111 everything fine, 211 is pip faulty. I'm now going throw the wires from pcm, cam and crank sensors. I know it is a ground or wire short. Is there some voltmeter tests I can run to verify connections and grounds to these parts? Also I just went out and it won't start now.
- Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
- 2000 ford taurus, is really hard to start, when it does start it idles really rough? 2000 ford taurus, is really hard to start, when it does start it idles really rough until completely warm, we replaced 4 coils and at first it helped but has returned just as bad.
- 2006 Ford Expedition - sudden loud pop/bang no power. Then intermittent power at 3000rpms not shifting? Heard a loud pop/bang and suddenly no power when driving… Turned the car off and was 'going' but shifting horribly and intermittently. No check engine lights on dash. Turned off overdrive and power was better but only beyond 3000rpms… Any thoughts?
- Car won't start even with jump start? I have a Ford Escort 2001. I checked the battery at Auto Zone, told me it was fine and had charge. The alternator is also good. The starter is also fine. When I turn the key there's no clicks. The lights on the dashboard stay on. Does anyone know what it could be? I've also checked the cables and connections.
