    99 5.0 starts, runs for a few seconds then dies

    This is actually in a 99 Ranger with the 5.0 swap. I have checked fuel pressure and it seems to be slow to build but stays in 55 psi range even while the engine is sputtering out. My first thought was fuel pump but I should see the pressure drop off, correct? With the MAF disconnected it...

    Does anyone have the Ford part number for the Block plate (engine plate, starter plate, whatever it is called) for the 4.2 M5ODR2?

    1994 Sport Wiring diagram?

    Does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the 1994 Sport? Helm doesn't list this old of a vehicle, Haynes diagrams are too vague.
