i have a 93 ranger 2.3 5sp 170k it will crank slowly but not start. i started it one morning and by the time i came back outside to goto work it was shut off and wouldnt start back up... it has spark and is getting fuel ive tried to jump it still nothing.... ive replaced the clutch safety ignition switch and also a coil pack... battery was bench tested also.

Thanks

 

You only need one thread per topic or question.

 

sorry im just trying to find out asap and need to get to going back to work

 

did you actually try a new battery? or get a jump. see if that helps any. It sounds like if its slowly cranking, you're not getting enough juice to the starter.

(i've had issues with battery's passing bench tests and not really being okay. how old is the battery?)

 

I've tried jump box.... Also tried jumping from another vehicle I tried to pop start it... Still nothing just locked up the tires

 

mine did the same thing and i replaced the starter and a new battery and now it starts up just fine

 

check compression 170 k miles if it has sat awhile the oil sealing the rings leaks out, if low put a teaspoon of oil in several cyl through the spark plug holes., spark should be bright blue and loud. hurts also
