#59 of 188 problem starting by revmred Dec 18, 2007 (2:25 pm)
I have a problem starting my ranger, I replaced the battery after a severe cold snap thinking this was the problem, yet it continues, I thought maybe cables you can boost it off and it wills tart. I boosted it off today drove it about 3 miles. Killed it and tried to restart, it was like there was no battery at all. HELP!! I took cables off and am going to replace them, but should I have started somewhere else, or should I try something else first?

Replying to: revmred (Dec 18, 2007 2:25 pm) Did you have your alternator checked out? That may be your problem. Replies to this message: fotd1 (Dec 26, 2007 11:48 am)

Replying to: obyone (Dec 20, 2007 2:35 am) The original symptoms did not state whether the engine turned over, but did not start. There are a couple of known issues with some years of Ford Rangers that affect starting. The crankshaft position sensor goes bad; the engine turns over, but spark and injector firing are intermittent-if at all. Longer shot could be a problem with the wiring harness (cracked insulation). If the engine doesn't crank (assuming good battery) check interlock switch on clutch/auto trans.   fotd1

#63 of 188 2008 Ford Ranger won't start by donnap1 Dec 27, 2007 (8:27 pm)
I am glad that I found your forum. We purchased a 2008 Ford Ranger 3 months ago, everything was good until it got cold outside. As soon as the temperature is around 0% C. the truck turns over but won't start. (usually have to try 3-4 times before it finally starts, then runs well, as soon as the engine gets cold, same thing, won't start)   It has been in the shop more in the last month then at home.   The dealership so far has replaced the fuel pump, fuse panel, a few relays, new computer and still when it is cold the truck won't start. We took it back again today. The dealer seems to be running out of options.   We are starting to think we truly have a lemon, any thoughts?   Thanks Donna Replies to this message: rangerhead94 (Jan 29, 2008 6:14 pm)

#65 of 188 2001 Ford Ranger trouble starting by stoner007 Jan 23, 2008 (6:19 pm)
It is getting worst as it is getting colder out... Would just not start but crank.... Almost doesn't seem like its getting fuel or something... It would take me about 15 mins to 20 mins at times to get it started.... Attempting to crank and waiting... At first ... I'd smell alot of gas when I'd get it started ... but not so much anymore... Sometimes pressing down the accelerator helps.... Sounds like its beginning to struggle every time now starting up and the idle seems a bit low.... Any suggestions on getting this fix?? What should I try first? Thanks
