I have a 1994 2.3 l Ford Ranger manual transmission and I've been getting a code 542. It seems like the times that my power cuts out in my fuel pump and it won't work anymore is in the middle of the hottest part of the day. it's been brought up as a theory that perhaps one of my components in between the relay and the fuel pump is expanding due to the Heat and therefore no longer connecting and that's why I'm unable to restart it until sun goes down and the temperature drops. I wonder if anybody has any experience with this problem and has a solution, or any advice at all thank you.!.
