Help, Start Problems

Dec 29, 2003 1 Replies

I have 2000 explorer limited AWD, 5.0L V8, 4 speed auto, 68k



Sometimes I have trouble getting it to start.



It will turn over and just grind but won't start. I can ,so far, always get it to start by pumping to gas pedal.



what can cause this type of symptom?...please somebody.



It does have somewhat of a rough idle but I had new plugs put in it about a thousand miles ago when I bought it. I am thinking maybe plug wires??...don't know.



sincerely, Bill V.


I think after reviewing this groups Q & A I am going to check the IAC valve. Here is the link,

If anyone has another suggestion please post it. regards, Bill V.
