    96 Explorer 4.0 No Spark

    Good to know about the shield wire. Makes sense that it would be wrapped in a foil tape as well. This is where it gets weird though. That voltage of 1.5 volts was a DC measurement, did it again at AC and came up with 2.5 volts. Both ac and dc were measured on each terminal with one probe on a...

    96 Explorer 4.0 No Spark

    Thanks for the info RonD. I'll try an inline tester for the plugs, and test the ground wires on the coil pack. I did recheck for codes, but none so far. What is the purpose of the "floating ground" in the crank sensor harness? With the key on, should there be voltage at both terminals?

    96 Explorer 4.0 No Spark

    Ya I tried the ether thing...no go. I did verify no spark by testing at the plug. I couldn't locate the starter relay ( i'll have to do some research, it's not in the main distribution box). I did disconnect the trigger wire from the solenoid, and coil has power in both on, and crank position.

    96 Explorer 4.0 intermittent no start

    Kinda mind boggling........Never seems to be consistent. My wife drives this '96 as a DD, and lately it has been having this starting issue. At times it will start right up, and other times it will take several attempts at cranking to start. Does not seem to make a difference cold or hot...

    T/case conversion question

    My '91 has the 1354"E" transfer case on it with the 35 front diff in it and I want to convert it to a manual t/case. Since the 1350 manual t/cases are readily available (I have a pile of them) i'd like to use one of those. My question is, if there is a front d/shaft that will bolt in without...
