94 ford explorer will not start

[Robzilla]

: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:

[kaoru-tochiro]

prime it from the intake? what do you mean?

[Robzilla]

: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

[Robzilla]

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:

[safetyman]

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

[kaoru-tochiro]

it started when he primes it at the manifold

[safetyman]

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

[Robzilla]

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!
