So my 2001 Ranger XL 2.5 liter which has never given me the slightest of problems now has me scratching my head wondering what I missed in trying to troubleshoot the problem. First let me make it clear that I am not experienced in engine diagnostics at all so I usually ask advise from the local auto store and go from there. It started after driving it a short distance and on my return the engine started revving up high upon shifting almost like the throttle was stuck. I tapped on the throttle a couple of times then it stopped only to then completely stop running and would not start after that. It turns over fine but seems to no fire. I first checked the fuse for the fuel pump and it was good. Then the fuel pressure. All perfectly fine. I changed out the relay for the fuel pump and still nothing. I am assuming even if my throttle was loose it would still try to start. I feel it is something electrical but again I am a total armature at this so I am reaching out for any advise on where to go next. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
