Mechanic ?: RE: 91 Ford Explorer 4.0 4×4 and how can I tell if ‘ignition switch’ is bad (see details)?
I need help/advise from a Mechanic PLEASE???? OK, I have a 91 Ford Explorer 4.0 4×4 and it wont start. It will turn over but has no spark or gas coming thru line. We thought it may have been the fuel pump and had a ‘mobile mechanic’ come over to the house this afternoon. He seems to believe that it could be the ‘ignition switch’ causing the problem. He didn’t bring all his ‘testers, etc.’ but took it apart and tried to start it (as if stealing it) but it still would not start. By the way, when it was running, we did have problems on 2 occasions with it not starting, but then were able to start it OK and never thought nothing of it. Also, the key although it seems to work/fit in the ignition, does not work on any of the doors, if that is any help or has anything to do with anything. So I would like some advise on ’symptoms of a bad ignition switch’ from all you smart mechanics out there because this ‘mobile mechanic’ is coming back tomorrow with his tester which he said has ‘extra ?power? or something that might help it start? What do you guys think? (There is at least 5 gallons of gas in it, it turns over, no spark, no fuel coming thru lines and no noise coming from gas tank when key turned part way, without actually trying to start)
PS: the mobile mechanic did check and it was getting ‘NO’ fuel pressure and we checked all fuses, inside the SUV and under the hood, even jiggling that one fuse under the hood ‘the fuel ? fuse’ and it still wouldn’t work.
More detail after reading some answers: *We did listen at gas cap for noise but did NOT hear any noise at all with key turned 1/2 way*
*Also, I have a 91 Explorer, so my key does NOT have a chip & I read 91’s didn’t come with alarms. ‘Unless, one of
the prior owners put one in, if so where would I look & what does it look like?
Also, when I do try to start the dash lights do come on with my key!
*No I have no codes* ‘I will look up info on the internet regarding where/what
/etc. the ‘Distributer Pickup’ is & how to test it & also look up the ‘TFI Module’ & how to test that, & look up ‘What the ‘Spout’ is and how to disconnect it! *However, I am only on SSDI, so I will try all else and then go to: IATN.net and find a driveability ASE L1 certified pro near me and pay the tow charge as a last resort.
****Another ?, back to when my neighbor thought it may be fuel pump at first, with all the above mentioned symptoms, does that sound possible? Thank you mechanics
