My 2000 4 L. Ranger starts and runs normally cold, but if I say, drive a few miles to put gas in it, shut it down, and restart, it doesn't want to restart. I have to pump the gas petal, and it will start after a few seconds of spinning over. Then when I put it into gear, it stalls. This happens a few times until I can get it moving, then it acts normally until I shut it down again, hot. Trying to restart it results in the same abnormal behavior. I replaced the fuel pressure control on top of the intake manifold, with no apparent difference. I have a friend with an OBD 2 sensor and the reading was "low temperature". I then replaced the temp sensor with no effect. The "check engine light" is on. I have never experienced a persistent problem with any vehicle I have ever owned. Thoughts?
