Hi,
I have a recurring problem with my 97 EB Explorer that is about to make me sell it. It starts fine, then without warning, it will not start. The engine cranks for a bit, then the starter motor cuts off and I loose all my radio presets and clock settings. In the past, I would crank it again, and it would start. Now, unfortunately, it will no longer start at all and continues to crank without starting.
I took the truck on a trip to the mountains recently and was stranded because it would not start. I had it towed to the nearest town to a Ford dealer and they simply replaced the fuel pump inertia switch and said that "fixed" the problem. It did for a while, but I was skeptical because I had jumpered that switch when I tried to get the truck to start in the mountains. Sadly, the problem is back. It is sitting in my driveway and will not start. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any ideas what is going on? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Jim
