Re: Explorer 94, what is this and why is it making a clicking sound?


Hi Jim,

Thanx for the quick response. So based on what you have said, I am
guessing that the sound it is making is not normal, correct? It
should not be clicking constantly like a relay?

I'm OK with replacing it and seeing what the outcome is if that sound
is not normal behavior.

Thanx again.

Having said that, it is important to review the nature of the failure.... is
this the build up from over 20 years of service, or is this the result of a
newer, separate failure and will it return to haunt you in the near
future????

Hi and thanx to all who respond.

I have a 1994 Explorer that has started acting up. When I turn the
key to the on position, this cylinder clicks repeatedly 5 to 10 times
in a second or two and then it stops. Sounds exactly like a relay
closing and opening over and over again. This behavior might be
normal, however I just noticed it because my explorer all of a sudden
runs very rough. When idling, the RPM's vary between 600 to 1400
constantly up and down for as long as the engine is running and
sometimes, it will die. Runs so rough, it cannot be driven.

Also worthy of mention is the fact that my fuel pump does not run
every time I turn the key to the on position. I would say it only
runs about 50% of the time with it sometimes running 5 out of 5 times
and other times it not running 5 out of 5 times. Also, when the fuel
pump does not run, my Explorer will not start.

Is the fuel pump supposed to run every time I turn the key to the on
position? Or only if the pressure is low?

At any rate, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

jg
