wont start

[altij]

My ranger was running perfect and all of a sudden engine die with no signs before that,gas mileage was great,power,no check engine.
I was at a red ligth and i took off, idlle was rough and in less than a block it stop now just cranks but wont start,fuel pump its working,there was steering fluid leaking dont know if has something to do with my problem,someone had or knows how to fix this problem?

[cscottyr]

I think the steering pump fluid leak is a result of turning the vehicle with no power (I read that somewhere). How do you know the fuel pump is working? Any other symptons?

[altij]

Your right about the leak,when i push my truck it leak again,and the only sympton that i have is a little detonation every 5 or 6 intents to start but before my problem no symptons at all i travel a lot in my truck everything was perfect dont have a clue ,thanks for you help!

[altij]

Someone told me that when you turn the ignition and you hear the pump working in the tank and besides you can smell the gas when trying to start the truck so its my guess

[cscottyr]

There are a lot of things that could be going wrong - I think if I were you I would hook up a pressure guage to the fuel system and check for steady fuel pressure first - I think the pressure should be around 60 to 65 pounds but I really am not sure - look around in this forum and I am sure someone knows for sure.

did you check your timing belt

[altij]

I did check timing belt is fine ,still no clue.im going to do a complete tune up tomorrow i found 2 plug wires that have cuts on them and a little crack on ignition coil rigth on the base where the screw is,dont know its that the problem.
HOT GIRL !

Check for codes if possible. If fuel pump is working, you will hear it when you turn the key. If it is working, pull off your injector and have someone crank the engine for you. If no fuel present (or low pressure) check for a clogged filter or leak. If it is good start checking your firing system (ie. plugs wires etc.) Good luck.

[altij]

I will do that,but is it possible that fuel pump or injectors fail whit no signs at all before?
I can hear the pump working.
Thanks for you help

[altij]

I already change coils,wires,plugs,belt,fuel filter,air filter,new batt posts, but my batt is low going to buy new one,i have one question though,i did the pressure gas relief as says on manual but still i got a lot of back pressure gas is this normal?the filter was almost full.

[altij]

Still dont start just cranks dont know if new batt will help

[cscottyr]

Hey altij,

If you can get a $35.00 fuel gauge and hook it up to your shraeder valve. This will tell you if you are getting any fuel to the rail. Good luck!

[Bulldog Brewer]

Still would be best if you could run your computer codes. Possibillity of a bad crank sensor from what your telling me. Need those codes!!!

[altij]

I already try codes with cel only get 111 .3 times already and still same 111 nothing else,and about shraeder valve its not where is supossed to be acording to haynes manual just the pressure port and thats it,mine is a 93 2wd long bed where is located?both valve and crank sensor and wasnt supossed to give a warning if its a sensor.THANKS

Hey altij,

I dont know specifically where to connect a fuel gauge to your truck although this link might help you sort it out.
