My Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2001 isn't starting,help?

• Like i said i have a Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2001. For some reason it isn't starting. I've changed the fuel filter and i don't know what else to do. Does anybody have any suggestion that will help? Thanks

• Answer:

  You have to determine if you aren't getting spark or fuel first. Once you determine that you can figure out what the problem is. Is the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to ignition? You should hear it hum for a second or two. If not, you aren't pumping any fuel. The fuel pump relay, computer relay(feeds the pump relay with power), the fuse, the fuel pump, or rarely the inertia switch could be the problem. If you do hear it priming then it could still be a fuel problem. It could be the fuel filter, or fuel pressure regulator but since you already changed the filter and the fact that the regulator rarely goes bad I'd then look to the ignition system. If you get no spark at the wire ends that plug onto the spark plug then you have an ignition problem. The most common causes would be the ignition coil pack or the ignition module. If you don't even get any cylinders firing when you're turning it over then it's probably the module but it could still be the coil pack.
