ford explorer wont start unless I pump brakes. help

[ryan530]

I am having a problem with my 96 ford explorer.

Usually this only happens on warmer days, but after a few starts, my car will suddenly not turn over. I have found that the only solution to starting it is by pumping the brakes about 6 or more times, fast and hard. Its not the battery because all lights and everything work.

Something it may have to do with, I just found out when going to get my car smogged, my monitors reset everytime I turn on/off my car.

I have asked many mechanics and no one knows what's wrong.

Please help. Thanks

Ur pcm is bad for not storing keep alive memory.... Ur no start sounds like the relay,solenoid , starter, ign. Switch. Possibly a electrical issue. I'd try jumping the starter at the relay when it don't turn over. If that don't work ur relay or starter is bad.
