Having fuel system issues. I replaced the fuel pump and filter last year and have had no issues till last week. Drive truck home parked it went out next day would turn over but not crank. I used starting fluid and it ran for a little bit so it’s not a spark issue. Disconnected fuel line from filter going to front of truck and have fuel. Moving further up the fuel line there is another part that I don’t know what it is or what it does could this be the issue? When I replaced the fuel pump and filter I did a pressure test and got the correct pressure and injectors are clean I rechecked those today. I think it’s the part I mentioned earlier. If anyone has any ideas please help. I need to get it running again as wife’s vehicle is down with a bad clutch and Uber is getting expensive to go back and forth to work. Thanks in advance !

 

You need to include the Year of the Ranger and in this case the engine model with the question
