My 94 Ranger doesn't start.

[gseclipse02]

hello i was googling around and found yall i have tried some local message fourms but no luck im to sure were to post this but yea....

its a 3.0 v6

it was running fine in the morning my g/f went to leave work and it wouldnt start the engine turned over

i ended up changing the cap and roter im not great with naming the parts but i changed the cap part were there's 6 spark plug wires there's one that goes to the ignition (i think thats what its called) that part gets spark ( i know becuase it shocked me and i saw sparks) but where the wires going to the spark plugs they dont get any spark every once in a while it may spark when trying to start the truck but still it turns over


any ideas of what it could be ?


these are the parts i changed the cap/ rotor/ distributor/ igniter and checked the module (even put a new one in but took it back ) i put a new wire from the igniter to the cap and still no spark

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the Ranger section. Did you replace the spark plugs? Did you mix up the firing order of the cables?

 

[gseclipse02]

plugs are around a year old didnt give any issues before so i dont think its the plugs


firing order is the same did it one by one

thanks for the move BB

Check each wire at the point where it meets the plug for a spark.

...If you truly have a cap and rotor, pull the cap and inspect them both...

...What did you gap the plugs at?
