4.0 '92 Ranger cranks but not starting

[chem52]

Hi. I have a 92 4.0L Ranger 2wd. Engine cranks but does not start. When I put fuel in the air cleaner, it starts and runs a few moments. I have not checked fuel pressure yet. This one has throttle body injection. Installed new fuel pump which was definitely bad. Curiously fuel gauge seems not working. I hear a high pitch noise for about 2 secs when key turned on. Inertial fuel shutoff switch is good. Is there a fuel shut-off solenoid valve that is not functioning? Any recommendations? Thanks

Welcome to TRS

1992 4.0l uses Batch fire injection, 6 injectors, one for each cylinder, and Ford EEC-IV OBD1 60-wire computer

Throttle body injection just uses 1 to a few injectors, at the throttle plate, and a stand alone non-Ford computer
So if you indeed have throttle body injection you will need to find out what brand and model number of the computer you are using to trouble shoot it

The 50/50 test(spraying fuel in manually) indicates the spark system is working and timed correctly, and compression is good
In a 1992 4.0l Ford used the EDIS-6 module and coil pack, timed by crank sensor

Yes, the fuel pump should run for 2 seconds each time key is turned from off to on
The usually means you are using stock Ford computer, also that the inertia switch is OK, and fuel pump relay

No, there is no other "solenoid" or valve on the stock fuel system

There is a fuel filter that can block flow from tank to engine, in the frame rail under drivers seat area, but would have to be very very clogged up

The "throttle body injection" term is what is throwing me off
Can you elaborate more on that, and are you using the Ranger fuel tank or a custom tank(fuel cell) and pump setup?
That would effect fuel gauge readings

Throttle body? Did somebody swap in 4.3 Chevy?
