I normally have an affliction for Explorers, I have had four in the last couple years, but decided to swap over to a Ranger as there is more that can be done with them. I bought a 94 Ranger XL with the 4.0 and a manual trans in it, bought it cheap since it won't start. My plan is to get it running and then swap in a rebuilt 4.0 I already have. So here is my dilema the engine cranks but won't fire, guy I bought it from replaced the battery and the starter, which didn't fix it. I noticed when I turn the key I can't hear the fuel pump running so I figure that is a possibility and I will test it when I get the truck somewhere I can work on it. Thing about the fuel pump is the guy I got it from said he ran a wire from the battery to the pump and it worked but still wouldn't start. So I am not sure if it is the pump or something else, possibly electrical. Also something else I noticed is that the check engine light doesn't come on at all when I turn the hey, I know in my explorer it comes on when I start the engine. Could this be the sign of another problem? Also I did some quick testing and I know I have power as far as the connector for the ignition coil pack. Any advice on possible problems or awhat to look for would be appreciated.
