#113 of 188 Re: 93 Ranger 4.0 not starting; new battery [mr93ford1] by bolivar Sep 30, 2008 (9:34 pm)
Replying to: mr93ford1 (Sep 30, 2008 4:15 pm) Check both battery cables. Check closely for corrison inside the rubber, near the connectors, at both ends of the cables, but especially at the battery.   Messing with the cables to put a new battery in gave a good connection for 2 days, then it failed again because several of the wires are eatten up, inside the rubber insulation.   If the cables are ok, then keep checking 'downstream'. Solnoid or a bad starter. Replies to this message: mr93ford1 (Oct 01, 2008 8:51 am)

#119 of 188 94 ranger intermitent start by maloy_1 Nov 13, 2008 (3:55 am)
For the past year and a half my truck will just decide not to start once I have driven it.. I have put a new fuel relay switch in, but done nothing else. If I wait sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 4 hours it will start. What the heck is the problem? Runs great otherwise, 126,000 miles, small 4 cyl. Will sometimes do this 5 times a day (yesterday) and then won't happen again for a couple months, then again maybe it will. help!

Replying to: joray (Jun 06, 2006 4:10 pm) did you find the problem? I have the same problem. I took it in and they said it must be the fuel pump. I had the filter replaced already. But another mechanic says it is the computer module.   any ideas? Replies to this message: maloy_1 (Nov 21, 2008 3:34 am)

#122 of 188 Another starting problem. by 98redranger Nov 19, 2008 (3:39 pm)
Hi Guys, I've got a 98 Ranger standard cab pick up. I just bought it and I am experiencing a starting problem and I'm hoping one of you can help me find the solution. It's a 2.5 litre automatic transmission truck. It has plenty of battery and starts fine when the engine is cold. Once the engine has warmed up the truck won't start. I turn the key and the starter won't engage. The neutral safety switch is working fine. I tested the solenoid wire (on the starter) when it is able to start and when the ignition switch is in the start position, I get power and the engine starts. When the engine is warm, I don't get power to the solenoid wire when the key is in the start position. Also, when it won't start, I put the key in the run position and jump the solenoid wire to the starter wire and the starter engages and the engine starts. It has never failed to start when the enging is cold. Does anyone have an answer? Replies to this message: congo_king (Dec 10, 2008 9:44 am)
