I have a 1995 ford explorer..I can drive around for a little while..turn it off and it wont start back up for an hour or so. I think it might be a fuel pump problem... please help

Hi:
I need you to check two things. WHen this happens, pay attention to see if you hear the fuel pump kick on for a second when you first turn the key. If you don't, under the hood (I think on the passanger side) there is an electrical box. open it and locate the "Electronic Engine Control" (EEC) relay. Locate a different relay in the same box that has the same part number and switch them. Now try to start again. See if that works. If it does, replace the relay. If not, let me know. I will walk you through the process of checking fuel pressure. It's not hard.

Let me know what you find and if it works.
