Ford Ranger won't start	alrightguy123	8-12-07
My 2003 Ford Ranger, 4.0 V6, 4WD, won't start. Clicking sounds are heard when the key is turned and the starter does not turn. When the key is turned to the "on" position, the speedometer claims the truck is going 40mph. What's wrong with the truck and how is it fixed?

2004 Ford Ranger won't fire. 37k on it. 5 spd. When I used to start it, it would rev to about 1800 rpms, then idol down to normal after 30 seconds or so. Went out to sttart it today, it cranks but just wont fire up. Almost like old school you'd get out and spray carb cleaner in the carb, its like that. Its cranking like a champ, just wont fire. Any ideas?

I have a 1996 Ranger, It use to start okay. Now I turn the key and it simply clicks. I have replaced the starter, starter solenoid,battery and now I am stumped. I can push start it and it runs fine. Turn it off, it will not start

Wont start huh?check that the fuel pump is working,turn the key on and listen for a hum(it will only last for a second or two).if it does that then go under the hood and find the fuel rail.at one end should be a valve that looks like a tire valve stem,unscrew the cap and press the stem down with a small object or knif tip(CATION THE FUEL IS UNDER PRESSURE SO IT WILL SPRAY EVERY WHARE).if you have fuel then check your injecters.unplug one and use a penut bulb,straiten the wires on the bulb and insert into injecter plug(dont wory no bacwards way to plug in).then have somone crank on it and see if the bulb is lighting up.if it wont light up then posible crank sencer.if it does light up then check spark.hope you get it fixed.duston

The problem was the battery! I towed the truck to a garage. A couple of days later I found out the original equipment battery had died! Go figure. Guess when the voltage dropped, the computers got confused.

2000 manual trans Ford Ranger won't start. Had it towed to station where it sat overnight and then worked fine. They turned it on and off over 50 times and then left it on for 20 minutes and it fired each time. Three days later, it is sitting in a parking lot and all I hear is one click but it won't start up. I have gone through three batteries in this past year. The mechanic at the station is thinking of replacing the engine coil but is not certain what to do. Anyone have similar issues?

2000 auto. Ford ranger won't start after driving and the steering wheel gets warm. When key turned doesn't make a click. Could it be the Anti-Theft device. Tried the extra key still doesn't work. Starts fine when its cold. Took to Ford dealer and they couldn't find what is wrong with it.
Re: Ford Ranger won't start	Maverick	12-8-07
Is it possible that the Anti-Theft device or key code could keep the fuel pump from running? I'm having the same issue but no fuel at the filter and pump not running

My 2003 ranger (4 cyl) randamly won't start. It cranks fine but won't start. There are times it starts and idles really rough and then stalls. What is wrong?
Re: Ford Ranger won't start	Chris	11-12-07
I am having the same problem. I just had a locksmith come to my house, and re-chip new keys. It seems my key had lost the "code", but it still doesn't start. I was messing with starter thinking that was the problem, but I wonder if I did something to starter when jumping it. According to locksmith, the Ford keys have a tendency to lose the code for the anti-theft.
Re: Ford Ranger won't start	Bryce	3-23-08
If it cranks fine try to reset the fuel pump under the pass side dash push the red button on top of a cylinder hold for 10 sec. then Turn the truck on but do not start it let it sit there for 10 sec cut if off and then try to start it should start right up
