Hello everyone and thank you beforehand!
1986 Ranger
2.3L
Long bed
Manual transmission
235xxx miles
So I'll do my best to explain what's going on and hopefully i give all the info. I'm over this truck at this point and looking for help. The last time the truck ran (5 months ago) i started it for work to warm up, went out to leave and the truck had shut off. I attempted to restart the truck and all i had was cranking and no start. I figured it was a fuel issue and at the time wasn't able to work on it due to an injury.
Now that I've been able to work on it I started with the basics of checking spark and fuel. I have spark and I have fuel. I ended up replacing both the in take fuel pump as well as the high pressure pump on the rail thinking i could have a bad napa fuel pump and still no start. I tried to do a compression test but didn't have the correct adapter to thread in. (Any help with that would be appreciated) I also put a jumper wire on the fuel safety shut off below the passenger side dashboard thinking that might have went bad and no luck.
I attempted to start with starting fluid and still no start... I'm sure i could continue replacing things and burning money but i wanted to reach out and see if anyone has advice before i do that???
