I have a 1986 Ford Ranger, manual transmission.. 2.3 FI engine.. My problem is... My truck cranks up, runs, had a hesitation in the gas pedal. replaced the AIC, found a couple of back wires, fixed them.. replaced the dist. cap and rotor.. plugs, and wires.. replaced the TFI today... it will crank up, run okay, but it will still shut off after about 10 to 15 minutes.. ( before it shuts off ) it acts likes it's missing .. went to hit the gas pedal... died out.. would not crank back up... I turned the ignition switch off and back on, didn't hear anything, did this a few times, and then heard the switch come on... ( I think it was the AIC )... I am at wits end on this... anyone out there know what might be the problem? Thanks for your time....

Thanks Skippy for your reply.. I just changed the TFI today, still doing the same thing.... I can't figure it out.... I did a self-scan... codes were # 31 and # 67 I think... How do you clear the codes out? I read that if you quit in the middle of scanning, it would wipe them out... tried it... still showing the same codes... any help would be greatly accepted....

31,evp out of range
67,park/neutral circuit fault
undo neg battery cable,see if faults clear.
 
You said you didnt hear anything when turning the key back on?

Fuel pump maybe?
 
I was thinking maybe the fuel pump... does the 86 ranger have one or two pumps??
 
code 31--- evp out of range, what does that mean???
and code 67---- neutral circut fault.. what is that????

Thanks.....
 
I pulled the neg. cable off... starte the truck up, let it run, still showing the same codes.....
