Hello there guys.....I have a 93 ranger xlt 5 speed & I have replace the ignition control module & coil packs, fuel pump & fuel fliter as well as the ignition wires & spark plugs & o2 sensor but my truck will not start.....i recently took it to the shop & they changed the crank shaft positioning sensor & the truck turn on & while I was driving it to my friends house the engine started bogging on me as if it wasnt getting any fuel but it was still running until I got to the corner of my friends house & the truck shut off on its own so I left it there & the next day I went over to start it up & it turned on but was only able to drive it down a block when it shut off on me....did any of you guys experienced this situation before & if so how did you guys fix the situation

My credo
Lead follow or get out of my way
I would forget that you just replaced a bunch of stuff... just because it's new stuff... doesn't mean it's working stuff.

You will have to start at the beginning... Spark Fuel Compression... you need all three.

Being it will start and run... I would probably go right to the fuel system. Ensure you're getting proper fuel pressure as your first step.

What ole gumpy said. New parts are often dead out of the box.

fuel pressure would be my first guess as well, fuel pump could do it.
