Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - No Fuel Pressure At Start

2001 Ranger, 108,000 miles, good regular maintenance per the Ford Schedule. 4.0L manual trans.

I changed the fuel filter 20,000 miles ago. This has been a recurring issue anytime my fuel level was low, about 1/4 tank or less, and when the truck was warmed up, hot. The fix in the past was to add fuel and let the truck sit for awhile. Now, today I drove home for lunch and when I tried to start the truck to return to work, it wouldn't start.

Same conditions, low fuel level and it was warmed up. The engine will turn over and start to run with ether in the air box, so it's definitely fuel related. A fuel pressure gauge on the Schrader valve got a zero reading, not even a flicker, and no residual pressure after shut off.

Could this be only a fuel pressure regulator issue? Or should I prepare to replace the fuel pump? Is there a fuse that might be blown?

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 V6 - No Crank / No Start When Turn The Key

2001 Ranger 3L v6 auto, 186k miles. Never had a problem. One day last month I park it at home. 10 minutes later I need to make a quick trip . Get in, turn key, absolutely nothing happens. Replaced the battery, starter/solenoid, and ignition switch (not the key cylinder lock, but the white box inside the dash below and to the left of the steering wheel...has lots of wires going into and out of it,...turning the key slides a little metal pin inside it up and down). All fuses and relays are good, neutral safety switch is good. Key lock cylinder is mechanically working properly. Engine is not headlights, interior lights, wipers, radio, etc all work fine. Theft light is not blinking rapidly. Headlights do not dim when ignition key is turned. Where do I go from here?

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - Turns Over Great But Will Not Start After New Plugs And Wires

2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 - 250k miles had the original plugs and wires ....

First things first - I changed them one at a time and confirmed the truck started and ran after each one was changed. I changed all the plugs on the drivers side with no issue. 4,5,6 ... Then I changed plug 3, rear passenger side plug closet to the firewall.

Truck will not start, turns over great, but will not start. I have confirmed I am getting spark. No clue what could have changed, I just pulled out the old plug and wire put in a new one and it wouldn't start.

My father-in-law said if you have spark check fuel. I recall seeing a post about someone breaking a cable for the coil pack but i have checked and i see nothing broken.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 Edge Really Rough At Start Up / Stalls On Hard Acceleration

2001 Ranger Edge 3.0. Like the title says, when I start my ranger it idles really rough. If I give it gas it shudders like it's gonna die. After about 2-3 minutes it smooths out. If I'm on the interstate and down shift to pass someone, while accelerating it feels like I have a misfire (no CEL given) not all the time though. I've changed plugs and wires and it stopped doing it so I thought I had it but, it continued a few days later. Then I changed the fuel filter and it stopped again for a few days. Well it's back again. I'm thinking it's the fuel pump but I wanted to check here before I take my truck bed off. I also checked for vac leaks and I'm all good there.

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2.7 Won't Start After Fueling Up

My '05 Sante Fe 2.7 doesn't want to start after fueling up. I have to hold the accelerator pedal down, like we used to on the old rods when we flooded the engine, to get it to start. I replaced the gas cap thinking that was the issue, but didn't fix it. I get no check engine light and with 340k miles, it sent out several codes a while back at the dealer. Could it be the fuel filter or pump?

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 1994 2wd Will Not Start When Key Is Turned To Start Position

I have 1994 ranger 2.3 2wd will not start when key is turned to start position - when clutch is depressed there is a click from fender mounted solenoid but it never cranks motor or starter--I need wiring diagram to trace origin of wire on starter solenoid because it does not have 12volts on it--when I jumper 12v on it and have it in neutral it starts up and runs but no voltage and no start with key....

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - CEL On / Low RPM And Stalls

My Ranger has been acting funny lately. My check engine light is on. I stopped by an Autozone and the guy read the codes - I don't remember exactly what the code was but he said I just needed to use some fuel cleaner - he recommended Seafoam. Now, I assume he was just trying to sell me something. But I've tried that, Gumout and STP in the tank with no luck.

If I'm driving and come to a stop, my RPM dips down to about 600 or lower, my truck starts shaking and will eventually stall if I don't step on the gas. This only happens with a warm engine - If I start the car up and go a mile down the road, it won't happens. But if I go 10 miles down the road, it will. I assumed I had a bad throttle position sensor so I just ordered the part and replaced it but the same behavior exists.

It's been a while since I've replaced the fuel filter - it might just be that.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - Rough Shifting Going From 2 To 3 And 3 To 4

I have a 2001 Ranger edge edition with extended cab, 3.0L engine, auto tranny (I believe it is a 5R55E) with 95000 miles. I am currently having some rough shift problems going from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. I had the transmission fluid exchanged and it solved the issue a little bit but it hasn't gone away. It seems to rev up a little then shift real rough. I have read hundreds of threads that talk about the Valve body gasket blowing out on these trucks so I was wondering if this description matches that fix (The OD light does not flash when this happens).

I had to have the PCM replaced right after I bought it to get the emissions to pass (codes wouldn't set) and in the process cleaned all my ABS sensors, replaced my Speed sensor on the rear differential and replaced both rotors.Are there some home diagnostics I can do to narrow down my search for the problem? Also, on a different note, my father has an 03 with the 4.0L SOHC in it and it seems to get a heck of a lot more get up and go. I understand it is a larger better engine but what I am experiencing seems very sluggish for any V6. Could they be related? Might it just be a fuel filter?

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - Cylinder 3 And 2 Misfire

2001 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6... Okay so I bought my truck last September with 100K on it. Ran perfectly fine. No problems for for the first two months and then it started to misfire when at idle. Check Engine Light came on. Scanned and got a random multiple misfire code. I then changed the plugs and wires. Had to repair the threads for cylinder two. Did all that and it kind of but not really solved the problem. A few weeks later got another check engine light. Cylinder 3 misfire. Changed ignition coil. No better. Shortly thereafter I checked again whilst at work and read misfire on 3 and now 2. Currently replacing the intake manifold o-rings and cleaning out intake.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 2.3L - Blue Smoke / Bad PCV?

I picked up a 2001 ford ranger with a 2.3 from a friend of mine for next to nothing. it has a serious oil consumption problem. he just put a head gasket in trying to fix the problem with no luck. he thinks it has a broken oil ring. the truck only has 99xxx miles on it and i find it hard to believe that it broke a ring. I am thinking it has to be something like a bad pcv. If it is rings ill do the job but I don't want to pull the motor down just to find that all the rings are good and it was something that i looked over

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001- Keys Not Working?

Good morning all; Just bought an 2001 Ranger XLT two days ago. Up until yesterday I had used the key fob to open the doors. Tried using the keys and found neither key works in either door. Both keys work fine in the ignition but not the doors. I noticed in the hand book some info about coding the keys but that seemed to pertain to the ignition only.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 - AC Compressor Not Engaging

I have a 2001 ranger 4x4 4.0 L with what appears to be a unique a/c problem. Over the last week the compressor will not kick on immediately and seems to randomly decide when it is going to function. Once it starts, it runs properly and cools well, until I turn the engine off and it is back to square one. We have checked the coolant level and it is full. the problem seems to be getting progressively worse....At first it took about 15 minutes for it to decide to trip, then 30 minutes, and yesterday I drove for over an hour and the compressor never kicked on.

Ford Ranger / B-Series :: 2001 V6 Only Runs On 2 Or 3 Cylinders

My 2001 V6 Ford Ranger Edge has 124, 000 miles and always ran very well, Shortly after a minimal attempt to pull a vehicle out of a ditch the vehicle began to run poorly. This may be coincidental as problem did not begin straight away. The engine refused to start at first but now appears to run on 2 or 3 cylinders. I have checked AND CONFIRMED the following:

Spark at all cylinders
Fuel filter replaced
Fuel pump checked
Fuel pressure 56 psi at schrader valve on fuel rail
Fuel inertia cut off valve checked
E_Z start sprayed in feed horn did nothing

I hope to avoid towing it to the dealer,as I recently had a very negative experience doing this with the Honda dealer..
