Starting problem
My '09 Ranger has an intermittent starting problem, doesn't matter if engine is cold or hot, will crank, but won't start. Always starts after a couple trys, seems to be getting worse. Just replaced fuel filter and has a new K&N air filter. Any ideas other than take it to the dealer?

Could be your fuel pump.
Theres a check valve that keeps the lines pressurized. If it fails it takes, clicking start from on/off a few times gets the fuel lines primed again. I had this problem a year ago, replaced the pump, now its fine. Not sure if the check valve is replacable in yours, mine wasn't. Its annoying for sure, I drove it a long time before I replaced it. You still under warranty? Have the dealer check it out.

I have a 2003 ranger, had new fuel pump put in about 200 miles ago, plus tune up. Filled up gas tank drove a couple of blocks and truck died and would not start again. Charged battery, still no start. I have codes p0316 and p0457. put on new fuel cap, did not help. check engine light and check fuel cap light still on. any idea what problem could be? thank you for any reply.

Use a good replacement, Motorcraft or Delphi or you will be doing it again sooner rather than later. They cost more; but, your labor is worth something.
