a little troubleshooting help..

[ajderka]

I have a 2000 3.0 ranger flex fuel
So my truck started to seize up on me, badly, so i got it in to have the computer run. I got the generic codes P1132 and P1152. The engine finally stopped working when i got back into my driveway, and hasn't worked since.
The problems listed are:
Leaking fuel injector bank 1
EGR stuck open
Engine mechanical condition
Fuel pressure high

I changed out the EGR, but the engine still wont start. I took out each spark plug, and each was covered in gas, and the one closest to the passenger side firewall was absolutely soaked (plugs are only a month old). The fuel injectors werent actually leaking, as far as i could tell, when i checked them out. When i do crank the key, the engine cranks like it wants to turn on real bad, but wont actually fire up. I am somewhat confused on what to do next...

do you have compression in all the cylinders?? sounds like the thing mine was doing when the timing chains went.

As far as i know i do, but i wont have an actual compression gauge here until my friend brings it back to me hopefully tomorrow night, who lives an hour away.

I checked, and the fuel pressure is presumably fine, the pump is working, the filter isn't clogged or anything, and all the lines are fine.

A buddy of mine, who is a licensed mechanic, was out last night with me trying to figure it out, and we are both stumped.

Anything else i could check?

it sounds like the timing's out, which is what was wrong with mine, when the plugs were soaked in fuel. Doing a compression test should give you some more info, you could take the covers off and crank it over to see if you get any movement on the cams I guess....

so after i took basically everything apart, just short of disassembling the block, and cleaned every nook and cranny, I got it to crank and turn over, yet its idling horribly, and after about a minute it stalls out.

any clue to what is happening now?
