If it runs on starting fluid, it's a FP problem, not ignition.

Check the fuel pressure, 12v on both inertia switch pins(connected), and Fuel Pump(s).

Check and see if your getting 12V to the injectors. If the PCM isn't pulsing them (negative pulse) you should see 12V on both sides of the injector coil.

My '89 2.9l Ranger had the above problem...it turned out to be some corroded pins in the injector harness connector....after cleaning the pins & the female contacts well, the injectors worked again.

Hope your fix is as easy...

EDIT: Never pressure-wash an older engine...it really messes up the wiring connectors

I had this same problem on my 89 ranger 2.9l. It turned out to be a faulty MAP Sensor. The MAP Sensor is located on the firewall just left of the engine. It will have an electrical plug and a vacuum line plugged into it. Try just disconnecting the electrical, when I did that, the computer ran off a base line and the truck fired right up. I replaced the sensor and all was good.
