Re: 88 ranger wont start
check your fuel pressure, you might be able to borrow or rent a fuel pressure gauge from an auto parts store, like Auto Zone, if you have low fuel pressure you can have fuel come out of the valve but it still might not be enough pressure to deliver enough fuel to the engine to start. Another possibility is that the fuel injectors are not getting an injector pulse. If you can get a noid light you could disconnect the injector, plug the noid light in the connector and try to start the engine, if the noid light flashes you have an injector pulse. Unfortunately noid lights are not as readiy available as they should be considering they are inexpensive and very helpful in these situation. If you have a digital multimeter you can check to make sure you have 12 volts at the injector when the key is in the run position. The computer will control the ground to operate the injector. Incase you haven't thought about it check all your fuses. I use a 12 volt test light to check fuses and it takes about 3 seconds per fuse. You simply attach the alligator clip to a good gound (bare metal). turn the key to the run position. place the point of the test light on the metal contact point on the fuse you want to test. If the light comes on you have voltage to the fuse. Now place the test light on the contact point on the other side of the same fuse. If the light comes on you have voltage to that side of the fuse as well. Light comes on at both contacts of the same fuse means the fuse is good. If the light comes on at ony one contact point inthe fuse than the fuse is blown. If the light comes on at neither contact points it means there is no voltage to the fuse.
