Are you saying that it won't crank at all, or it won't start? If it
cranks but won't start, could be the idle air control valve problem.
Easy way to check for that is to press down on the gas pedal and see
if it starts then.

check your crank angle position sensor. Both of your symptoms
indicate that's the problem.

I solved the problem by removing the crank position sensor and putting it
back on. There's only 1.5 dcv going to this sensor, so when it corrodes, the
engine will just spin. wiggling the connector will probably work also.

I had the same problem with my 96 Explorer. It was the fuel pump relay. It
toke about 2 months to fine what the trouble was. Next time when your
engine won't start look under the hood for the fuses there (by the brake
master cylinder), you will see 3 1 inch square relays, just rotate the 3 of
them around and see if the engine starts
