This explorer randomly quits. And it randomly will not start. The engine turns over, but does not start. It may not occur for a month or more of routine driving. Thought it was the cam sensor. Replaced it. Did not fix problem. Spent more than $500 on problem including dealer diagnostics, brain box replacement, fuel system repair (pump and filters) and vacuum system repair. 3 months later, stranded again. If I let it sit for awhile (an hour or two). It will start. Sounds funny, but seems to occur more after filling tank with fuel. Have been stranded at the pump more than a few times.
I did alot of thing to fix the problem of my truck randomly not starting. The last thing I replaced was the Idle air control. It was around $66 at the auto parts store, and quite possible the easiest thing I have ever changed in a vehicle. So far no problems 2 months later.
engine sometimes does not crank,turn key and nothing. Car does this at the most important times,really upsetting. Not sure but, after trying to crank car several times it starts
Been spending money on diagnostics checks and nothing is reporting being wrong except for the air intake valve. I got a new one installed and it still does not fix the problem. So far 500.00 spent and it still dies or does not start at times.
