So, I have this 86 ranger, 2.9, 5 spd. bought it for my son, it's been running fine for the most part. Tonight the fuel pumped died, or at least that is what I'm guessing. Towed it home and will start investigating tomorrow.
Here's the deal, the previous owner put a switch in to directly turn the pump on or off, and by-passed the inertia switch. I would like to figure out what or why he did this. I'm assuming the inertia switch is bad.
1. What do I test first to make sure the if the pump is good or bad.
2. Is there more than 1 pump I need to look for.
3. What questions should I have ready to answer for you tomorrow.
Once i have this figured out, what do I do to put the safety inertia switch back in order.
Thanks
