need help asap

[John Hickey]

i have a 93 ford ranger 2.3L 2wd. i have replaced the spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump but it still is not getting fuel in the fuel rail. what could this mean.

it has spark and the engine truns when i twinst the crank shaft with a socket


what else could be the problem

Check for voltage at the fuel pump.

 

[John Hickey]

how do i do that
and what shold the votage be
and is it common for the eec and fuel pump relay to go bad

 

[IZwack]

You look for the connector going to the fuel pump, disconnect, and attach the voltmeter leads. Voltage should be 12v or above.

[IZwack]

If it has voltage, can you hear the pump pumping?

...Do you hear the fuel pump prime if you just turn the key to the on position without trying to start it?

Check the ground part of the fuel pump circuit. Also check the inertia switch. It could have been bumped by mistake and is keeping the fuel pump circuit open.

User verified that there was voltage at the pump connector.

Sorry about that. Without having access to a wiring diagram, I couldn't remember which side of the circuit the inertia switch was on.
