97 V6 SOHC Will Intermittantly Not Start - loses clock/radio memory settings???
At times, my '97 explorer will just spin over and over. I found that if I
wiggle the crankshaft speed sensor on the front of the motor, my car will start right up. This sensor only has 1.5 v running to it, so a little corrosion will cause a problem Good luck!!!
