My father called me a couple weeks ago saying his Ranger quit running. He said it just kept losing power and then finally died. When I got the chance to try and diagnose the truck later in the day, it would start and run. But would not run for long and then stall. If you gave it gas, it would choke out and stall. I immediately assumed it was the fuel pump. Because I had just replaced it 6 months prior. So I swapped the pump out and it started up and then died. But it would immediately fire right up. You could do this several times before it would not start at all. So I began thinking it was the ignition module. We swapped it out yesterday and the truck would not start at all. Put the old module back in and it would not start either. So I put ether in the intake. It attempted to fire. Put a little more in and it popped (backfired) out the intake. At that point we just kept trying to start it without the ether. It finally started, but ran for only a couple seconds. The popping made me think it jumped time. I read on this forum about distributor gears wearing out and then jumping time. And also thinking it might be the MAF.
Now a little background on the truck.
-1993 Ranger, 3.0 automatic.
-95,000 miles
-New fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs/wires
Any thoughts?
