Previously I posted about myself helping a older lady to get her ranger up and running since none of her vehicles run and it’s a truck I know the most about. She was driving with a misfire for over a month and fried her cats. Well it turns out the cats were only partially the problem making the truck top out at 40mph, I’m going to be pulling her bed off and looking at the fuel lines going to the fuel pump and the fuel pump itself. Now on my code reader it showed the engine was running lean before I pulled the cats and after too, oxygen sensors didn’t look fried, the fuel filter is clear and not clogged but her engine has little fuel pressure right at the block. Fuel lines are also back wards from the fuel pump to fuel filter (not sure if it matters to much beside the fact that the clips are different for holding them onto the nipple of the fuel filter) and her bf apparently dropped the tank instead of pulling the bed and he dropped it without removing the lines, broke the lines and the tank, he says he replaced the tank and fuel pump but his answers arent very straight forward so I have a good feeling its running lean from a fuel pump related issue since the filter is ruled out. Any other points on the fuel system I could also check? Her ranger is a 2001 3.0 rwd, truck also has a rough idle even with both parts of the cats removed.
