#2820 of 2825 Re: 94 Ranger Won't Start [betsy662] by bolivar Nov 03, 2009 (1:27 am)
Replying to: betsy662 (Nov 02, 2009 2:23 pm) There is a 'rollover' fuel cutoff switch. Passenger footwell, near the center, just behind the top of the carpet. There is a pushbutton to reset it.   But if it is open, the fuel pump doesn't run at all. Now there are connections there that could be starting to have problem. The truck is now 15 years old...   Other possibilities, and probably a better possibility, is the fuel pump relay. There are beside or inside the fuse box under the hood are I think up to 3 identical relay boxes. If their plug in connectors are getting dirty, this could be the problem. Or could be failing. I don;t know which is the fuel pump one. Wiggle them around. Switch them around, they are all the same. Buy 3 new one. If you can decide which is the fuel pump, buy one new one.

Replying to: bolivar (Nov 03, 2009 1:27 am) Tis true that the truck is 15 years old, also in a humid environment, so its completely possible that the contacts are going bad.   On mine,t he fuel pump relay is the one in the center, there is a diagram underneath the power distribution top, so that I found, I will look into it further tomorrow when I have the day off.   Thanks Replies to this message: bolivar (Nov 03, 2009 3:48 pm)

I think one would be about $25 or so at a parts house, not Ford.   Might be worth it to just buy one and replace it and see if your problem stops.
#2823 of 2825 Cost of replacing Tensioner pulley on 98 Ranger by vft32 Nov 05, 2009 (8:49 pm)
My daughter was having a noise in her engine which I diagnosed (correctly I might add) as the tensioner pulley. I had her take it to the Ford Dealer in Las Vegas. The Ranger is a 98 XLT 3.0 V6 Auto 4x4 with less than 75,000 miles on it. They charged $175 for labor and $143 for the part. I was wondering how close that is to "reality"? Her being 450 miles away I wasn't able to change it my self as I've done on my older F150's. They also told her the spark plugs needed changing and a tuneup was needed, the truck runs fine except for the pulley squeal. They wanted another $400 for that! The manual says the plugs are good to 96,000 miles and the Ford Dealer that did the major service on it last July said it in no way need a tuneup at that time 72,000 miles and should be good to 100,000 miles. I had her refuse the tuneup but let them do the 3 month L-O-F and change the Licence plate light bulbs. They weren't happy but did they fix the tensioner pulley issue. What is with these dealerships now? I had to take my Mountaineer the Ford Delear in Carson City and they wanted to do all kinds of things over and above the warrenty work needed (about $700), which I only paid had to pay them a $50 deductable.

Is the ign. module numbered as the engine firing order or as a distributor?
