I bought 98 explorer, ran perfect for 3 or for days then in the morning it would not start, it would start up and then if you hit the gas it would die, then it would turn over fine but not start. Could it be the igniter, or fuel pump or what else. regards david
I believe his problem is different. He says when he hits the gas, the engine dies. Usually the car would run with the foot on the gas even with a defective IAC valve.
Try to start the truck with the foot a little on the gas. If it does start, but dies once you take your foot off the gas, then its probably the IAC valve, which can be removed and cleaned or replaced easily. If however you cannot start it check the basics first. Listen for the fuel pump, check for spark, etc.
