Good Evening everyone.
1988 Ranger 2.9 2wd, manual transmission.
I have been constantly tackling electrical problems. Just when I think I’ve got em, they strike again. Today I stalled out in a parking lot, had a faint burning smell.. I noticed the past couple days it was trying to stall when going from a stop, thought I was doing something wrong. After it stalled out, no fuel pump prime. Cranks strong, wants to turn over. I tried jumping it and it primed, no start. Got it to prime by jumping, eec relay. Jumped the 2 and sent a direct ground to battery. Put an inline fuse from eec power to battery. Probably not a good idea. However, She cranked. Let her warm for a few minutes and tried to drive home, around the corner. She sputtered again few times, caught with clutch. As soon as I ad a decent load, she dies.
Does this sound like eec power? Relays are all good, tried a confirmed working one to no avail. I just installed a 5 channel amp and each channel has its own speaker/sub. Could it be pulling too much power? I’ll be able to work on it more tomorrow. Hoping you have some guidance.
Thanks.
