Why does my Ford Ranger have a hard time starting?
My 99, 4.0 ranger has a hard time starting when its cold out and it has sit over night. I usally have to crank it twice until it will start and when it dose start it hesitates a little and then idles fine. I have replaced the idle air control and the fuel filter. The engine runs good and strong.
Where is the starter Relat on a Ford Ranger?
The starter relat on my ford ranger is located on the driver side fender inside part right next to the distrubution box. It may be on the starter itself. I don’t know for sure, Ford’s are weird.
What to do when your Ford Ranger runs out of fuel?
If you think it is wiring you can always run a new power feed from the relay to the fuel pump and make sure the ground is good. Next check is the fuel pressure regulator, your looking for fuel coming out the top and bleeding into the vacuum line thus flooding the engine.
What does no load test on Ford Ranger mean?
Its a no load test. Meaning if you are having problems with bad bearings in your starter it wont show up there. I would pull the starter again, and hold the gear in the nose, and shake it. If you hear a clunking sound, its not a good sound.
