I tried to start it but it would not start. I went back the next day and it started for a brief second and shut down immediately. It does crank but wont start. I noticed a lot of oil underneath it. When I checked the oil it was real low and also I did not see any fluids in the radiator either. I checked both of them about 3 weeks ago and they were both in good shape. I did check the fuel pump and it is working. I NEED HELP!!!!!! Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 14, 2013, 12:37 AM Post #2 of 3 (1788 views) Re: 1998 Ford Explorer wont start Sign In Seems like something broke or was broken by road debris causing two fluid levels to be low and seen a lot of "oil" underneath it. First step is to look right at what is leaking and where which should give you a clue as to why. Unless you tested fuel pressure you really don't know if fuel pump is working properly. Is the belt even in place and tight on this? You or someone has to look and check as to what happened, T kev2 Veteran Dec 14, 2013, 1:38 PM Post #3 of 3 (1765 views) Re: 1998 Ford Explorer wont start Sign In lets start with BASICS check oil and coolant. Is the Ck eng light on? if yes get codes Spark is there spark check at several plugs As tom said fuel PRESSURE - using a gauge.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
