You attempt to start your 2001 Ford Explorer, but despite your best attempts, it cranks without starting. What should you do about this issue? Your first step is to inspect the safety shut-off at the fuel pump. Following that, you should examine the fuel pump itself, then the fuel filter, and finally check the fuel pressure regulator, as any of these components could be malfunctioning, blocked, or in need of replacement. The price of a new fuel filter ranges from $14 to $35, while a new fuel pressure regulator will set you back between $80 and $180. If the fuel pump is failing, the cost could be anywhere from $358 to $765.
