#172 of 188 Ranger wont start by jesterdrummer Jul 12, 2009 (3:11 pm)
I have a 94 ford ranger with a 2.3L. Its a manual and it will turn over without issue but wont fire up. I changed the fuel filter and plugs but the same thing happens. I need suggestions please.

Replying to: freezejc73 (Jun 02, 2009 2:38 pm) Hi, I am experiencing the exact same problem with my '91 Ranger. I replaced the starter with a brand new one and it still wouldn't turn over. Just a loud click every time I turned the ignition key. I'm about to replace the starter relay because I'm guessing that's the problem, but I wanted to check and see how you resolved your starting issue - if at all. Thanks.

My 95 ranger 2wd extra cab w/ manual 4 cylinder wont start. first I thought I might have turned the key to far to acc. and left the ignition on over night & drained the battery. But that wasn't it. it bump starts fine and re-started for awhile then stopped altogehter. Tested battery "Good", Alternator "Good", Replaced 9 yr old starter.( for piece of mind), and fender wall mounted seleniod. Now instead of a weak clicking sound theres a strong knocking sound from my starter, But still no start... I also checked all my fuses.... I need help

Replying to: warozz (May 24, 2009 6:22 am) I have a '93 3.0 liter with similar trouble. I beleive the problem may lie in the power distribution box.possibly in the contacts for the relay or grounding. i'm going to try cleaning the contacts with contact cleaner and oxy-acetylene torch tip cleaners.i will let you know if this helps.   My truck is having intermittent fuel pump failure.I have swapped relays,changed fuel filter & fuel pump.Still having the same problem.If the problem is in the fuel pump relay contacts in the power distribution box then changing/swapping relays won't fix the trouble. The contacts may be dirty/corroded or become a loose fit.   I hope this works, it seems there are a lot of rangers with similar problems.   If any one knows or has any other ideas please reply. thanks

#179 of 188 97 Ranger won't start by pikeless Aug 05, 2009 (4:50 pm)
Truck began to start about half the time; other half only a click when key was turned. Replaced solenoid on fender wall and all was good for about 1-2 dozen starts. Then 1 turn of the key got the "click" response; after that another 10 or so good starts before total failure to start with only a click response. Replaced the replacement solenoid with no success. Jumping the solenoid yields the click but nothing else. Apparently there is sufficient charge in battery-lights etc are strong. What should I check/replace next? Thanks for your help.

Replying to: pikeless (Aug 05, 2009 4:50 pm) If the battery is truly strong, the first thing I would check is the battery cables.   Both of them.   Connections on both ends.   Check for corrision inside the insulation.
#181 of 188 Thank you Bolivar-it started by pikeless Aug 06, 2009 (4:10 am)
Thanks for the advice Bolivar. I just checked the cables. I did not see any problem but I moved them to try to isolate them from any points of contact and it started a couple of times no problem. I hope this is not a red herring solution. Thanks again.
