Replying to: joray (Jun 06, 2006 4:10 pm) I have a 94 Ford Ranger that does the exact same thing. That is why I'm searching these message boards. Did you get it fixed? Did changing the fuel pump relay work? I thought it was just vapor locked because after 15 minutes it just starts right up like nothing every happened and it will be 2 months before it does it again.

Replying to: joray (Jun 06, 2006 4:10 pm) my 94 ranger does the same thing. There is a recall on some fuel lines (they tend to crack). Could it be drawing air instead of fuel and causing it not to start intermittently?
#144 of 188 Replaced the starter in my 91 supercab and it keeps spinning!!!! by ranger91 May 28, 2009 (2:37 pm)
I replaced the starter in my 1991 Ford Ranger Super custom cab XLT, started it twice with no problems then started it again and with the engine running the starter just kept on spinning so i thought it was the wiring fixed that and then i went to reconnect the battery and it just started spinning on it's own. i checked if the keys were in the ignition and they weren't. Can anyone offer suggestions or advice? Replies to this message: bolivar (May 28, 2009 3:09 pm) rainn (Jul 12, 2009 1:03 pm) rainn (Jul 12, 2009 1:08 pm)

Replying to: ranger91 (May 28, 2009 2:37 pm) The new starter may not be matching up correctly with the flywheel. It may need to be 'shimmed', which means shims need to be placed under the mounts. This will align the engagement.   I replaced a starter, and the alignment was not so bad that it continued to run, but it 'whined' loudly when engaged. The auto supply house (OReileys) gave me a set of shims and instructions when I went back there.   Getting the shims in and the bolts thru the holes and shim may be troublesome.

#146 of 188 Ford Ranger still wont start!!! by ranger91 May 28, 2009 (5:45 pm)
okay so i shimmed the starter on my 1991 Ford ranger Supercab, and now not only will it not start it wont even let me try to start it. I tried reconnecting the battery cables and it started arching and before that the starter had started spinning of it's own free will. What i think it may be is either the relay or the solonoid. Do 91's even have a solonoid and if they do where would it be at in the engine compartment. any ideas or suggestions please let me know. My ranger is my daily driver so i really need it running Replies to this message: bolivar (May 28, 2009 9:22 pm) ranger91 (May 29, 2009 7:28 am) bolivar (May 29, 2009 8:58 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: ranger91 (May 28, 2009 5:45 pm) ?Well, I'm not really sure, but I think it has a relay/solnoid. I don't think it is the old round shaped one, it may be a strange shaped flat thing.   Follow the positive cable. Follow the cable on starter back toward the battery. If you find something with a big cable in, a big cable out, and one or more small wires in, that may be it.

Replying to: bolivar (May 28, 2009 9:22 pm) well the relay is located right by the battery and i cleaned that off and it still wasn't working. I guess what i'm wondering is if there is a solonoid where do you think it would be? Replies to this message: bolivar (May 29, 2009 8:58 am) ranger91 (May 29, 2009 10:15 am)

Replying to: ranger91 (May 29, 2009 7:28 am) The relay could be fried inside, cleaning will not help. Replies to this message: ranger91 (May 29, 2009 10:15 am)

Replying to: bolivar (May 29, 2009 8:58 am) I called a ford dealer and they told me that the starter is most likely defective. They said that because all the starter want to do is spin that it means that the teath of the starter aren't recessing back into the casing and thats whats causing it to keep spinning
