Hi Guys,
I have a 2001 4.0L Auto. Up until recently it has been dead reliable, no issues with low power or hard starting.
About a week ago I gassed it up and went home. When I went to start it in the morning it cranked but would not start.
I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter, ignition coil, and just now did the crankshaft position sensor. Still the same symptoms... can't get it to start at all. If I push all the way down on the gas while cranking it I do hear what sounds like a backfiring noise (but not quite as loud).
When I was at work my GF had someone come over and try to figure it out. He found that fuel pressure was low, about 10PSI, and it would not start even with spraying starting fluid into the intake.
Given that both fuel and air seem to be an issue out of nowhere, I am thinking the problem must be something electrical, but I really have no idea what to look for. Anyone seen something like this before?
