#40 of 188 91 ford ranger starting problems by bale Aug 20, 2007 (3:37 pm)
I have a ford ranger xtr cab 3.0 manual transmission. It started sputtering for about a week coughing black smoke when it started and then it stopped starting. I changed the fuel pump and it worked great when it was cold and when it warmed up it would start to sputter again. I changed the spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor cap and fuel filter and It still refuses to start. Does any one have any idea what could be the problem.
#41 of 188 94 Ford Ranger (No Start/Shuts off while running) by theresaclueles Aug 24, 2007 (1:41 pm)
94 Ford Ranger: My truck will periodically not start after being driven short distances. It will turn over like nothing was ever wrong with it if it sits for 30min-1hr.   More frequently it has been also shutting off while I am driving. I will then have to sit for 15-30 Min before it will start again. Sometimes I'll be able to get where I am going after this, but other times it will shut off again in a mile or two.   I have replaced Solonoid, engine coil, had a tune up and a new starter put on the truck.   Nothing has fixed this problem, what else might it be??

Replying to: theresaclueles (Aug 24, 2007 1:41 pm) Do you have fuel pressure?   If not, the first thing to check is a fuel pressure relay. There are 2 or 3 relays by the main fuse box under the hood. If it is bad, the fuel pump will not work.   There is also a fuel cutoff switch just under the edge of the carpet, on the 'hump', on the passenger side. This switch is to sense a rollover situation and shut the fuel pump down. Sometimes these malfunction.   And, of course, the fuel pump itself inside the fuel tank.

#45 of 188 confused on my 94 ranger by bushbj Sep 20, 2007 (5:21 am)
I was driving down the road at 65 and the truck just stalled out. I tried to start it but it just cranked over and did not fire. I had it towed to a mechanic and fuel pressure is good and I am getting spark.He also checked all the fuses and the emergency fuel cut off switch. what else could it be to make it just shut off with no warning? I was thinking it was either my fuel pump whitch came out to be good, or my timing chain broke. do you have any suggestions to help me?   I have a (94 ford ranger V-6 3.o automatic tranny
#46 of 188 Ford Ranger: Hard starting by mikef0179 Feb 16, 2007 (7:39 pm)
#47 of 188 hard starting 4.0 by mikef0179 Dec 24, 2006 (1:15 am)
Hi all,   My 99, 4.0 ranger has a hard time starting when its cold out and it has sit over night. I usally have to crank it twice until it will start and when it dose start it hesitates a little and then idles fine. I have replaced the idle air control and the fuel filter. The engine runs good and strong. Could bad plugs and wires cause hard starting? Any Ideas:   thanks,   mike Replies to this message: fordenvy (Feb 04, 2007 11:45 pm) creisol (Feb 16, 2007 7:39 pm)
#48 of 188 Same problem by fordenvy Feb 04, 2007 (11:45 pm)
Replying to: mikef0179 (Dec 24, 2006 1:15 am) I have the same exact problem, and when it gets warm out it goes away, or when you had it started that day already it starts up fine. Mine is an '02 4.0. When I start it I just start it like a carbureator holding the gas pedal. But the engine still runs real strong even in this -5 degree weather. I suggest choke cleaner in the air intake. But I'm skeptical of doing this because I ruined a lawn mower that way before.   -Adam Replies to this message: creisol (Feb 16, 2007 7:39 pm)

Replying to: fordenvy (Feb 04, 2007 11:45 pm) Try cycling the fuel pump twice before starting. If that helps, it could be that your fuel pump is losing pressure or your injectors need a good flushing.
