For starters this thing has definitely been used. It has 250k+ miles on it but I want to fix it since it’s a 2.3 and also 4x4.
I bought it in the condition that it’s in, non running etc….
So what I know is that it’s not getting any spark, nor is it getting fuel pressure, and also the CEL is not working.
What I have done, … checked the bulb in the gage cluster, and swapped the pcm with another known to be good pcm from a 1997 ranger with the same configuration. Also I have checked fuses, relays, etc…. Still the same thing, no start. Will crank all day and it sounds like it’s got good compression (haven’t tested) and the timing belt is intact and not loose at all…. I’ve never dealt with these engines before so any suggestions are much appreciated!
