![]() ![]() Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment to check this stuff. Mabey the inertia switch but I'm more inclined to believe the fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator or one of the two fuel pumps (there are two: a high pressure and a low pressure pump). I'll be taking it back into the shop shortly but after reading the manual and the above threads I'm thinking that the problem is definitely fuel related. I've had the truck checked and the EGR valve assembly was replaced as well as the throttle body overhauled. ![]() ![]() It starts fine and runs fine but occassionally either when cruising for a few miles at 35 mph or after slowing down for a turn and giving it the gas again, the engine will hiccup or cutout (stall) for anywhere from a second or two to nearly a minute before I can start it again. mabey someone can make something out of it: I have a 1989 Ranger with 2.3L fuel injected engine (5s manual) and this problem has cropped up only in the past year. Having read the above, here's my 2 cents worth. Somebody please help me figure this one out. My repair man and I are puzzled! I don't want it stalling in a dangerous area. And while it was sitting I had used the AC. It is now three days later and no problems? I was told it might be the inertia sensor. Once again it was towed, started the next day and the repair shop (not a ford dealership) couldn't find the problem. After sitting on a hill, nose down, and about four miles from where I started it. This was 7000 miles ago (just before my 30k checkup). They shrugged their shoulders and replaced the fuel line. This time it was towed to the ford dealership (where by the way it started just fine the next day) and after looking through everything and testing all aspects. At that time it did it after coming out of a parking garage. Then an hour later it started up and no problems.at least not until a week later. The first time it was after I had parked it nose down on a hill, it started, but died soon after. Very frustrating not being able to drive your car for 4+ months.I own a 2005 Ranger. Hoping someone one has some insight on this. Pulley runs free and fine and the belt shows no signs of wear. doesnt seem to be the AC compressor because like I said, it will shut down even when I don’t have the AC on. If I leave the AC on after it shuts down and try to start it, it will start and die right away. There are times where I would have the car on, turn the AC on and shuts down right away. To me, it’s as if there’s too much stress on the engine and it’s overloading and just shutting down. I’ve had it at an electrical shop for about 2 months now and he can’t find anything at all. Ive has it at Ford and they said it was my ECU and that it was “fried” so they replaced it. Mine VIN didn’t fall into the problem cars but replaced it anyways and it still continues to have the issue. These symptoms are exactly inline with the TB issues. Throttle body issues are known on some models of 11-12 V6s. Other times it will turnover and then just die out again. Sometimes it will start right back up and be fine for a bit and then do it again. It’s just as if you’ve turned the car off. The radio doesn’t reset and there’s no sign that it’s a battery/alternator issue. Back in June it started to just shut off. It’s been to multiple mechanics, including Ford, with no solution. So this has been an issue on my car for 4+ months now. ![]()
