I've looked at the many "start" problem notes and responses, but none relate to my issue. I have a '95 2.3L Ranger (manual). I can go out in the morning and the truck starts like a champ. I drive anywhere and when I come back out - maybe only 1/2 hour or less, and the truck won't start. It almost comes to life on the first crank, then acts like it's flooded. I can crank it until the battery is almost dead and no start. I leave it, come back in a few hours and it will start up again (usually with a strong smell of gas in the exhaust). The last time this happened, on the way home the truck wanted to stall (almost like it was choking out) once or twice when I had to come to a stop - it also seem to stall/choke when I initially gave it gas.
Anyone have an approach to figure this out? Is it a sensor? Fuel Injectors? Much thanks.
