Hello All,
Trying to help a friend at work get his Ranger running. Here is the story.
A few weeks ago truck starts fine buy starts to get a stumble before he ever gets out of the aprt complex. I come over scan it shows code for IAC and TPS. Replace IAC and it runs great. We take it on a 15-20 mile drive never stumbles or dies like it was doing before.
Next morning tries to drive to work makes it to the road and it starts to die at the stop sign, Dies, Restarts and he goes back home. I come over rescan with NO CODES and it starts right up, we take it again on a longer driver 30 miles. Again no stumble or engine shutoff. Now i'm really puzzled.
Next day we get a fuel pressure gauge. Fuel pressure is at 30 with engine running but it will die after a few minutes running. Pressure was at 30 psi and did not loose any pressure when key was off. He wanted to replace Fuel Pressure Regulator so we did with no change. Starts up RPM go to 1200 then back to 800 or so, dies a few minutes later.
So is fuel pump going. I have only dealt with either the pump comes ON or it doesn't. Also switched fuel pump relay with another to rule that out.
Thanks for any help you can give.
