Haha I'm thinking it's more of an ignition systems issue, but the reason I have a close eye on my fuel system is because I just replaced the tank less than two weeks ago and the sending unit isn't working anymore, plus I didn't hear my fuel pump turn on or off after I came to a stop.Originally posted by nitrofarm View Post

Huh. The first thing I decided to look at was my fuel system. So I found my can of starting fluid, shot it down the intake and started. And IT RAN!! I'm not supposed to hit it right on the head at my first attempt. What is this sorcery??
So that fuel pump is starting to look guilty, and the relays and wiring are suspects- 1996 Ford Ranger 2.3L 141,240 mi (Traded...wish I hadn't)

Under the plastic for the rear driver's side speaker. There might be a little cover that you have to pop off with a screwdriver.Owner of:

Whew! I took a look around the fuel pump door and it turns out the dang connector shook loose! Well, it made me feel like a bit of a dummy, but in the end no money was needed for this repair, so I'm happy
