same problem happen to me it sounds like your mass flow sensor is bad

 

I'll have to check it thanks.

 

It would be great if I could find another ranger near by to borrow his mafs before I spend $210

 

on my bros 04 the wires on the bottom of the fuel cut off where messed up we had to play with them for a bit....thats what it sounds like to me

 

That is to shut off the fuel pump..did his fuel pump not work.

 

Actually the button resets the fuel pump in a sudden jar (crash or hard bump) the fuel pump shuts off and the button resets it.

Also check throttle position sensor, maybe cam sensor. my moms 3.0 Taurus runs rough sometimes and will cut off and its the cam sensor. Also crank sensor could be checked as well not sure if it would start at all if it was the crank sensor

 

Thanks. I bought some mafs cleaner and see if it works. I saw online there is some way to check it. I can get a new mafs from auto zone for 119 (referb) so that is better than $209. After that I plan on checking the TPS I guess.

 

I didnt realize the mafs cost that much. dern

 

The pcv I changed was in front of the tb just below ur radiator hose

 

Ya me either until I priced them. Its kinda setup to fail eventually IMO.

 

Thanks guys seemed to have fixed the problem. We'll see how she does for the next couple days. You were right michael. I bought some mafs cleaner last night and sprayed it down and let it dry until today when I got off work. Put it in and drove around the neighborhood a couple times no problem

 

i have a 88 ranger with the 2,9 and i can start it up and it runs for a few seconds and dies out when i try giving it gas. anyone know wat i need to check to get it right? i seen online that the map sensor will make it seen like the feul pumps arent workin rite but i just put a new pressure pump on it and i need help..........
