Hey all,
I just did the fuel filter, I have a 2007 ranger 4x4 XLT with 180k on it. Recently sometimes (not always) I have trouble starting it. When I turn the key, it’ll crank always but sometimes “gets caught” or something and it stops cranking. Usually when I turn the key off and try again it will start right up as normal on a second try. Today it took theee tries, which makes me think it’s getting worse.
Any ideas? I’ve read the CEL would indicate bad coils. I would a imagine a bad starter wouldn’t crank at all.
I suppose my first step would be to pull a spark plug and see how bad /dirty it is?
Thanks
Phil
