my girls dad was driving the ranger and the truck stalled on the fly.never started after that.engine turns over but will not fire up, im the one whos trying to fix it.all the things ive done so far.: checked the inertia relay,checked all the relays and fuses they were all good.check fuel pressure, it was about 10-12 psi,and the fuel pump wasnt making noise when the key is in ignition.replaced the fuel pump still no go.what should i look at next .thanks

 

You need to confirm if the injectors are getting the signal from the PCM and if your getting spark at the plugs.

Using a DVM set to read 12v or a 12v test light, pull one of the fuel injectors electrical plugs off and back probe the terminals.Crank the engine. You should see the DVM readings jumping between 0v and 12v or the test light blinking.

Next, you'll need to confirm your getting spark at the plugs. You can buy a special tester at any auto parts Spark Tester. Or if your daring, you can use an old spark plug and a set of jumper cables Pull one of your plug wires. Using either the special tool or an old plug, plug the wire onto the end (if using an old plug clamp one end of a jumper cable to the threaded part of the plug and the other end to the block). While watching the tool or plug have someone crank the engine. You should see a spark.

 

Check the coil plug and coil itself. plugs and wires for spark as stated by Rev

 

Pull the cover on the timing belt back and see if the belt moves when someone else cranks it.

 

Same thing just happened on my daughters Ranger. Timing Belt Broken.

 

i will check for spark today.the engine would still turn over even with the broken timing belt?.im wondering why the code reader wont work with the truck.bad ecu maybe?

 

what are the symptoms you're having.does the engine turns over?

 

Her truck just died while driving.
It would turn over but NOT start.
It tried and tried but only the starter ran.

 

it was the timing belt.plus the antifreeze has oil in it.thanks guys
