Hey folks,
Haven't been here for a few years, since I have a 2004 Lightning as well. Still have my 98 3.0 V-6 Ranger. Been running pretty dang good lately, put a new fuel pump and filter in her in early December, computer has been clean ever since, no codes and all monitors in the ready mode.
But, drove it 100 miles early today, and all was fine. Ran like a raped ape, as it usually always does. Modified exhaust and aftermarket intake.
Problem is, I put her in the garage at 1830, went in, got cleaned up to go out for dinner, now it cranks but won't start. Tried replacing the fuel pump relay, as I have several. Nothing. It's got a new IAC, DPFE, IAT and plugs. When I turn on the key, I still get the loud click from behind me. Will check fuel pressure tomorrow when it's light out again. But don't suspect a brand new fuel pump went south on me in one month.
It did this to me before, back in 2009. But, my sister borrowed it from me for four years, and never complained about it once. Got it back in 2013, and it's been good since, except for the lean codes, which a new fuel pump fixed. Just all of the sudden, out of the blue, it's back. Never did figure out what ailed it back when.
Just put the new fuel pump in, new back brake shoes and new back tires. Don't want to have it towed to a scrap yard yet, it runs too darn good.
What's ailing it?
