Thanks for ideas.
2002 2.3L Ranger 5 speed. Drives great but out of nowhere, sputters quietly for 5 seconds and dies. Got electricity whole time. Pull over and cranks immediately, may take a few seconds to ignite, but she does fire right up. Go a few miles and she'll do it again. May do this 3-5 times in as many miles. No method to the madness. Changed gas, changed fuel filter, fuel relay, fuel pump. After the fuel pump change this weekend, did it just backing out of the driveway. As soon as she died, I checked for the new pump whirring and it did whirr for its 2 seconds like its supposed to.
Darn intermittent problems.
Since it has electricity the whole time, doubt its electrical?
Ideas where to go now?
