Hi I need help desperately, I've have my ranger for a couple year...great little truck. Never any issues normal wear and tear..then one day it just stops running...crank no start...sounded like no fuel...did my abc ...thought it was fuel pump changed same issue crank no start..checked fuses, relays no fix please help

 

Welcome to the forum

The year matters, so what Year Ranger?
assuming 2.3l or 2.5l

The ABC for a "crank but no start", since the very first gasoline engine, is the 50/50 test
Spray gasoline or Quick start(ether) into the intake manifold
Crank engine
If it starts and then dies you have a fuel delivery issue
If it doesn't start then its a spark, or maybe a compression issue
50/50

The 2.3l/2.5l SOHC engine does use a timing belt and it can break without warning, even when driving, this does NOT hurt the engine, but it would no longer start or run

So try to see if the Cam gear(just in front of valve cover) is turning when you crank the engine, if not then belt is broken

 

Yes sorry 1997 ranger xlt 2.3

 

Check timing belt first, make sure cam gear is turning

If so then do 50/50 test

 

Thanks for your reply and time...I will check in the morning along with crankshaft position sensor

 

50/50 test checks if crank sensor is working, it checks everything except the timing belt, quick and simple
