I HAVE A 1996 FORD EXPLORER THAT WILL NOT START. IT TRIES TO START AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL ONLY RUN FOR ABOUT A MINUTE SOMETIMES TWO. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER AND CHECKED EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS AND IDEAS. ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

THANKS!

Hello

Based off of the miles you have I would say it is your fuel pump. You need to perform a fuel pressure check. But again, based on the miles. I would think the pump. If you do, replace the fuel pump relay also.
