Hey guys. The last couple years or so, my '89 ranger has been doing something funny. It will do it off and on, maybe for a week and then quit it. Go 6 months and do it again for a few weeks and quit it...etc etc. after sitting for an 8 hour shift at work, or overnight, I get in and go to crank her up and as soon as she starts, it comes up to about 1000 RPMs for a second of two and just dies. Instantly I turn the key to start it and it fires right up and runs great. Always starts right up on the second try. Fuel pump starting to go bad? Something clogged?
Thanks,
Dow
