no start

I have a 1983 ranger with 2.8. Today I had to unscrew the fuse panel and move it to try to look at the wiring behind it. I disconnected the battery before starting and when I was through trying to see behind the panel I screwed it back in place hooked up the battery and then my engine wouldnt...

1999 ranger that I bought two years ago to learn the DIY basics. Turns over great, new battery, spark plugs and leads, cleaned the air flow sensor, but still have intermittent starting issues, maybe one time out of seven. Some times cold start, some times running hot (like when I stop for gas...

I bought the truck from a co worker, no crank no start, I replaced bad battery and starter, got it to turn but didn't sound right the belts spun but sounded like no compression. So I immediately assumed the timing chain, pulled everything apart to replace the timing chain and looks like the...

I have an 86 bronco 2 with the 4.0 ranger engine, it will start sometimes and other times it wont. I have changed about everything and I believe the problem lies in the ignition possibly. I was told that sometimes there is a problem where if you turn the key too far the car will not start just...

Hey Guys, I have a 2002 Ranger Edge 3.0L gas with 121k miles. A few months ago, it would occasionally crank but not start after being driven for a while (maybe 5+ miles). After sitting for about a day, it would then start right up. Now, it'll crank but not start at all, even when cold. When it...

Hey all. I just replaced the fuel tank, pump and sending unit on my 1990 Bronco ii and can't seem to get it running again. Before replacing the tank and all that I did a full tune-up and replaced the map sensor and tps. I made sure everything was square and the truck was running well before...

Hey guys! I'm completely stumped on why my Ranger won't start right now, I've read all the threads about this problem but I think it may be something unusual. I drive an '87 Ranger with a '91 4.0 swap. A few days ago I was sitting at a red light and the engine cut off and wouldn't start. It had...

Ive had this truck for a few months and I have replaced a lot of parts on it - radiator, maf sensor, iac, tps, fuel pump/filter, water pump, fuel regulator, both coil packs, plugs and wires. It had a misfire and loss of power (code 224) so I thought it was my icm. I took my icm out and was...

Im at a loss trying to diagnose this ignition problem...I need this truck to get to work 20 miles away and it's driving me crazy.

My 1999 mazda b4000 4.0 EFI Automatic 4x4 will not start. I started using the keys to lock and unlock the truck instead of the fob, and occasionally it would not start. Suddenly the keys stopped working in both driver and passenger door (they don't turn at all) so I had to use the fob and it...

Hello. I was hoping someone could help me. I've got a 1994 Mazda B4000. It had a terrible lower intake manifold gasket leak and I decided to perform the fix. When I went to dis-connect the "camshaft position sensor/camshaft synchronizer" connector, I broke the connection on the sensor and...
