heres the reason why a bad ignition module will cause the coil not to fire. as the engine rotates so does the distributor, which has your ignition pickup module inside that gets its signal from the slots/ gaps in the reluctor wheel which your rotor sits on. when the pick up mod. gets its signal, its sends that electical pulse to the injectors and the ignition control module. the module then sends its signal to the coil, telling it when to send current to the distibutor cap. without the signal coming from the ign. mod. the coil will never produce spark, and because it is mounted on the distributor it is subjected to more heat which causes them to have a higher failure rate than if it were remotely mounted (on my 94 3.0l its mounted behind the headlight assembly to keep it cool). i hope this helps you make more sense of whats going on if you didnt already know this.

that does help make more sense just got home from picking up the used module hopefully that fixes my problem here

Update** put new module in got spark!! now no fuel gonna go get new pump tom

 

[1988Rangerxlt]

okay sorry for no update forever it has been very cold here and started a new job so it should help things move alot faster its at kal tire so hopefully get somke big meats for the BII, so i got a new fuel pump and installed it and i am still not getting fuel, dont know why thinking bad wiring what are some of the first things i should be checking into and is there only one fuel pump? any info is greatly appreciated

no there is two fuel pumps. one in the tank and one on the driver's side frame rail. also check the inertia switch. i believe its under the passenger side kick panel... it is a fuel cut off switch that is supposed to go off when you get in an accident but they get triggered all the time.

Did you check the fuel pump relay?

 

[1988Rangerxlt]

okay so i phoned a local parts place and they told me it only has 1 pump the frame rail one, how hard is it to change the in tank one, and what does the inertia switch look like? and also wheres the fuel pump relay i have a few under the hood dunno witch one it is or how to test it

** spring is here so its time to get working on it again whats the best way to drop the tank and change the pump
