Fuel Pump,,,,,,,,,,,,
I was in here tonight looking for another sticky or a "how to",, I read a bit of the post and just had to reply,, Ihave a 93 4wd Navajo, I just love my truck, had it for years. ANYWAY,, almost 2 years ago I went to visit a couple female friends out in the country, and so happens my (jackass) cousin was with me. We get done visiting and to my truck, get in start it up, and away we go,,about 30 feet. Dead in the water, or well on land,, but dead nonetheless. So I roll it into my friends barn, drop the tank,, and all involved. The entire time my cousin is bitchen about "how long is it gonna take you ?" Well those that know even with the right tools its a PITA job,, Now when you DONT have what you need and your trying to make do,, along with that person thats with you but is afraid, scared, and just flat out cant handle getting dirty or greasy outside of his job,,,(boohoo cry me a river). SO ANYWAY, some 5 hours or so later Im ready to turn the key and get my a$$ home and a shower. Turn the key,, engine turns over, and turns over, and over,,, no fire,,,.. By then I ready to beat him down because his whiney little candy a$$ wants to get home,,, (cry me another river). Anyway then I remembered,, when we were leaving he was reaching in his back pocket after getting in, his feet high in the floor board, his neck on top of the seat and there it was, that light that goes off and reminds us that sometimes we dont stop and think things thru before we act. I pulled back the carpet on passenger side and there it was for sure, he somehow disconnected the inertia switch when he was doing whatever he did. Now as a reminder to the Ranger owners out there,, Its MUCH easier to pull the 6 bolts or however many out of the bed and disconnect things and lift the bed off for fuel pump access. The Point of this long winded babble,, Think things over first BEFORE you get upset and just jump on the first thing that comes to mind. Learn how the process of elimination can help,, i.e. if its doing this then it cant be that, if its doing that then it cant be whatever else. Engines all need 3 things Fuel, Spark, and air,If you have air and spark,its got to be fuel, etc. AND for damn sure get a repair manual to keep handy for wiring and vacuum stuff along with THE RANGER STATION tech info pages.
