93 Ford Explorer Stalls While Driving
 

I have a 1993 Ford Explorer with a 4.0 L that started stalling while
driving about six month ago. It shuts off like someone turned the
key. Originally you could push in the clutch and immediately restart
it without a problem. The occurrence is very random and there is
never anything common between occurrences. It used to happen only one
time during a day until about two weeks ago when it happened twice
within about 10 minutes. It took about 10 minutes each time before it
would restart. Both those times, even though it died like the key was
turned off, it acted like it was out of gas when I was trying to
restart it and then all of the sudden it would start like normal. The
problem seemed to start about the time the vehicle was run extremely
low on gas. Since then the following has been done: fuel filter
replaced, tune-up performed (plugs and wires), fuel pump and EEC
relays replaced, MAF sensor cleaned and the IAC valve inspected. The
service shop where it is taken says there is never an error code in
the system when I bring it in. The vehicle is currently unsafe to
drive with this condition. Any suggestions as to cause and solution
are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Has anyone checked the fuel pressure yet ?

The shop tested the fuel pressure during one of its visits and said it
was okay. It is so random it might have been fine during that test.
I would like to put a fuel pressure gauge on on it so I can monitor it
while driving but havn't figured out what to purchase and where to
install it. I know it probably goes on the fuel rail or maybe I need
to install a tee fitting to make it work.

Monitor the ignition too. Loss of spark is cause for more than of
shutdown complaints. Paraticularly if its abrupt like someone turning
off the key. You can duct tape a timing light to the windshield to
check.

It has had the fuel pressure checked while in the shop. It is in the
shop right now and hasn't stalled for them. I recommended they put a
fuel gauge on it so when it does stall we will be able to see what the
pressure is at that point.

Hey Rich,

I am just started having the same problem with my 94' Explorer XLT
Automatic, please let me know when you figure it out.

It began started stalling while driving about six months ago. It shuts
off like someone turned the key. Originally you could push in the clutch
and immediately restart it. It used to happen once daily, most recently
twice a day. It now takes about 10 minutes each time to restart.
Shutdown is random and there is nothing common between occurrences.

I had the fuel filter, plugs & wires, fuel pump relay, and EEC relay replaced,
the IAC valve inspected, and the MAF sensor cleaned. The mechanic
said there is no error code. The vehicle is unsafe to drive in this condition.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The condition is typical of an intermittently failing ignition module. The
failure doesn't set any code, and it is difficult to detect because it will
bench test good. If you leave it in the tester long enough to heat up,
the failure sometimes appears. Then if you disconnect it and it cools
down a little it will test good again.

When I experience this kind of failure I throw a $35 ignition module at it.
That usually does the job. If not, I take it to a profe$$ional mechanic.

Good luck.

Rodan.

has the cam or crank sensor been tested?

Ford Ignition Module sleeping sickness. I have seen this a couple times.
Swap the module out.
