Asked by Jeff Aug 16, 2023 at 04:21 PM about the 2006 Ford Escape

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2006 Ford Escape with a 2.3. If it sets for a few days it will crank but
won't start. If I disconnect the battery for 24 hours, it will start up when I
reconnect the battery. If I start it every day I never have a problem. Has anyone
experienced this?

This could be a main relay problem or the computer itself. You absolutely need a good tech in an independent shop for this one. Might take a bit for diagnostics so be patient.
