2.2l diesel question

[6.9l ford]

I have a question abouit the 2.2l mazda diesel in the 1983-1984 ranger.
Does it need a lift pump? or does it pull diesel fuel with the injection pump?
I have one that I am going to put in my 1994 ranger,I am trying to start up on the front frame clip that it came with, I dont have the original fuel tank, or frame past the fire wall. I am using a can of fuel that the input lines for the injection pump are in, but there is no fuel prime, & no fuel at the injectors
PS, I am putting voltage to the fuel shut down soloniod also.
thanks Jason

I know for a fact that the later 2.3L turbo needs a rattle style electric pump in the frame rail. I suspect the 2.2 requires one too. I know ours will deliver enough fuel from the injector pump alone to sustain idle and move around a parking lot but I doubt it could accelerate or maintain higher speeds without it (not that I tried).

Just something to deliver no more than 8 PSI is all you need. I used a generic tractor style pump like this one and it works perfect:

That pump can be found at almost any autoparts supplier under several different brands so shop around. Just don't use a higher pressure pump like what EFI engines require.

Thanks, that is what I thought but I didn't want to put pressure on the inlet if it doesn't need it or will harm it. I have a holley red (7psi) I'll use it.

the little 2.2l engine fired right up with the lift pump

time to open it up to see if it needs anything before the swap into my 1994 2wd ranger

Awesome, glad to hear it.

Guess your 6.9 will have a little brother now (same like me).

This is a little off you thead but I'm looking at buying a 87 turbo can you all tell me anything about them? like what i need to look for problem they have ect. any help would be good.

Jeff, other than the usual things,

It should have power similar to a V6 of the same era (number for number the diesel is lower but the torque range makes it feel comparable). However it might be a little slower until its at operating temperature (more so than a gasser)

No smoke or very little at full power,

Should start up and run without any problems - no sputtering, not coughing or smoke other than one puff when it first starts running,

Some blowby is to be expected but not too much - there should not be enough to make a pSSHHT sound when you pop the filler cap or pull the dipstick tube when its running,

Idle should be smooth and steady once running,

When you get back from a test drive, leave it running and look things over again. In particular, look at the coolant recovery tank and see if any bubbles are comming through. This could indicate a leaking head gasket or cracked head.

The turbo should be audible once you get it rolling good. If the truck seems guttless without smoke and no turbo sound then it could be the vacuum line to the injector pump. There is a small diaphragm (about the diameter of a soup can and less than 1" thick) on the line thats mounted in the inner driver's side fender. The rubber connecter there can rot out and leak, preventing an adequate boost/vacuum signal from reaching the injector pump.

Good luck

Thanks for the info.
