[QUOTE="Andy Chase, post: 949367, member: 66505"] My dad has a 1999 or 2000 Ford Explorer with the 3.0 engine in it. The engine died on him over the weekend. He said it made a large baning noise and died. When he turns the key the engine starts to turn over but won't actuall start. he thinks it might be the Timing Belt/Chain. I've seen a few people on here recently say they've had that problem in there ST's. My question is how expensive of a fix is it generally. He's debating on fixing it or donating because he wants a new vehicle anyhow. Luckily we were able to start my 93 F-150 that's been sitting for over a year. under $100 to get it running (tabs, oil change, radiator fluid and one transmission leak fixed. Not too bad, and even with 1-2 gallons of old gas mixed with 2 gallons of new gas, it started on the first turn!:banana: Only problem is the power steering is out (leaking hose somewhere) so he'll get his workout.
