I have a 05 Explorer, it stalled out on me and now it wont restart normally. If i cycle to key from on to off 10-15 times it will start and run but, it dies soon after. I'm wondering if it is the pcm or the fuel pump or what it could be. Plz someone help I've already changed the spark plugs and ignition coil, as well as the fuel filter, plus the alternator too. oh and new battery too.

May I ask why you attached a poll to a technical question?

There should be a hookup on the fuel rail on the motor.

I think on his, it's an electronic fuel rail pressure sensor (no Schrader valve). We have a tool that taps in to the fuel rail that has the valve on it.
