94 ford explorer will not start

:bandit: My 94 ford explorer will not start,I have replaced fuel filter and fuel pump and it will only start if I prime it from the intake...
I need advice please.:smoker2:

prime it from the intake? what do you mean?

:frog: I mean The air intake from where the
air cleaner is...I can spray some eather in there and it will fire off then die...:bandit:

try bleeding the fuel rail it might be air locked

it does have fuel to the rail, I am thinking eithre maf sensor or bad or clogged fuel injectors. Hopeing it is maf sensor:smoka:

can't see 6 injectors plugging at the same time, have you checked to see if you have any spark at plugs?

it started when he primes it at the manifold

what about the fuel cut off switch, with the pressure released from the feul line will the the switch have to be reset

I got fuel up to the fuel rail and I have good fuel pressure. I checked the injectors for power and When I checked the white wire the injector would click like it was not getting a ground so when I put my tester on it I wonder if I was completing the circuit?


I am going to buy the haynes book for this . I will let you know what I find.

firt bet since this is common on exploders...fuel pressure regulator. second would be check the fuel pump relay..(tap test it)
tap test is hitting it with a screwdriver to see if it clicks over while buddy tries to start truck...
good luck!
