very cool, great video, thank you... having hard starting on my moms 2001 sport trac, first I though it was the iac ( from oreilly's)and replaced that first, then fuel pump( airtex brand from oreillys). seemed to help but the hard start came back. EVen tried the fuel pump relay switcheroo thing once and did not help. So You have to throttle it it a lot every morning, I mean a lot of gas pedal, then will finally start but will barely idle and really rough at first like if it is not running on all cylinders, you have to let it warm up and feel throttle smooth out after about 5 minutes of idle and warm up. Truck runs good all day after this. Come next morning same hard start. NO check engine light ever. but I get two codes , b2276 which online says could even be a bad ignition lock cylinder ground? is that possible? other code is B1359 which online say could be gem module or ignitions "switch" but Im guessing they mean the ignition switch tumbler where the key goes in, but of course that is a whole new key with chip and will need new key reprogramed as well. So this truck had an aftermarket alarm with remote start, my mom had that removed recently and had a local locksmith unplug the aftermarket alarm and install and program an Oem style square ford factory looking remote fob. Now the hard start was the same before and after the aftermarket alarm removing/unplugging so I dont think the issue was with the aftermarket alarm. Only other thing the truck has is sluggish door lock actuators, It usually needs two pushes of the unlock button on the remote to open the door locks. Truck has just over 200k miles. Also i have not checked the fuel injectors at all, they are original. My question about your video is you dont show how you moved the harmonic balance forward the first time you show that... you dont actually show that process? who did you move it forward away from the engine the first time? I am gonna go lock at her harmonic balancer and crankshaft position sensor.
I am having the same exact problems with my Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.0 . Me and my husband been trying to pin point the problem as well. We got the key reprogrammed and thought that would solve it. The truck runs very good but now we’re back to the No starting. We’ve replaced the fuel pump and starter on top of filling it up with GAS ⛽️ still no starting. A neighbor told us it could be a MAF sensor issue or Crankshaft sensor so right now I’m just frustrated cause I’m hoping this works. So I can drive my truck again.
Boy they can't even make good rubber parts last more than 15yrs. I've seen this exact thing happen before, right down the same belt grooving nonsense. Good work producing the video enjoyed it
You sound like your from Mississippi. No disrespect, I'm fro Mississippi lol. I have a question on a 97 f150. But I'm terribly busy. I'll. Get back with you tonight. Thanks
Your video is plenty of help
Great information and video. Thanks

I bought a harmonic balancer puller
