    Mounty cranks, no start, crank sensor

    I need help, I’ve gone through the “Explorer no start checklist” and figured out my engine light doesn’t work, but get 4.5 volts at TPS, so how can I check the crank sensor? If I start truck and still get 4 volts at TPS, does that mean crank sensor is good? And is it normal for crank sensor to...

    No start no crank.

    Pin 3 is getting over 12v. When I jump 3 to 5 the engine cranks and starts. I've tried 5 relays and I've tested this last one on the wipers and it works. When the key is in the cranking position pins 1 to 2 only get 10vs as where the 1 to 2 pins on the wipers and fog light relays get 12v. I...

    06 Mountaineer No Spark after changing Gaskets..

    So it all started with what I believed to be a vacuum leak. Although I couldn't seem to find it anywhere, then I came across lots of people saying that it was common for the Intake Manifold Gaskets to leak and cause a vacuum leak. So that's what I set out to change. After hours of actually...
