#43 of 188 Re: 94 Ford Ranger (No Start/Shuts off while running) [theresaclueles] by bolivar Aug 24, 2007 (7:40 pm)
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.

#51 of 188 2001 4x4 Starting problems even when it's warm out by skinymph Mar 27, 2007 (8:40 pm)
Hey! So, I have a 2001 4x4 6cyl. 4liter Ford Ranger, and even when it's warm outside, I have trouble starting it. It starts and stalls two or three times before it gets going, and that's usually because I start giving it gas on the third time. Could it be the O2 sensors? I have no idea. Any thoughts? It seems to be getting worse.
#52 of 188 Electrical Problems at Start-up by rangerboy1 Oct 01, 2007 (1:36 pm)
I have a '97 ranger, 4 banger. I was recently having problems with my altenator shooting the right voltage to my battery, as indicated by a light on my dash and verified with my meter. I replaced the altenator and the battery as this has been a problem I let go long enough to fry the battery as well. The last few times I drove it before replacing these, however, a new quandry appeared that still has me perplexed. That is, when I turn the key the entire electrical system goes completely dead and I get nothing the next time I turn the key. I can disconnect the battery, though, for a few minutes and connect it and get power back to the instruments but will go dead again once the key is turned. With the entire electrical system being affected, I have suspected problems with the PCM or its relay. Am I going down the right path, or is there something I am overlooking? Thanks for your help!
