I thought I checked all the fuses relays , i replaced fuel pump . Still nothing , watched a hundred KZitem videos. Well guess 101 fixed it .

1997 Mazda B-4000SE 4.0L V6 here ( same as a Ford Ranger XLT) - mine suddenly one morning after using all day before would NOT START, cranked like nuts, no "fire". What did I find? It was the F'ing Fuel Pump Inertia "collision" switch mounted on the passenger side inside the firewall!! No impacts, no bumps, no anything that should have tripped that Inertia "collision" switch!! Fuel pump is fine! Beware Boys, ALWAYS ALWAYS check that damn Inertia "collision" switch FIRST!! A kick of a foot, a package you have on the floor bumping it, could easily trip it! Push the button down to reset and GO!

My 1995 Mazda B4000 was Ford-built and is basically the same truck. In fact they were making them on the same assembly line. I had the same problem. I grounded the negative side of the fuel pump relay coil. This is a hack though, because that point is normally grounded through a PCM terminal. Normally the PCM pulls it low for two seconds when the ign. key is turned on but engine not started. This builds fuel pressure by bumping the fuel pump. Then when the engine is cranked and started, it pulls low while running. The theory is to prevent flooding if the key is left on without starting, I guess. So: It could be a loose wire or a PCM issue. But just grounding the coil permanently fixes it.

You co not need to totally remove the truck bed. Starting behind the cab remove the 4 bed retaining bolts loosen the last 2 bolts leaving them in with a few threads holding them.Then tilt the bed up and use a 2x4 to prop it up.No need to disconnect wiring,remove the fuel fill hose before tilting .You will have plenty of room to work.

I reacently fixed my Ford Ranger XLT 1997, the starter made just ONE click when turning the key. I bought the car for 500 dollars, but the Owner said the starter needed to be replaced. I digged deeper into this fix, i thought it was wierd With One click. so i looked under the Hood and just wiggled at the starter cables Down onto the starter! And i just jumped into the car and turned the Key and it started right up! Try this before you buy a New starter or any other parts!

great video man! straight to the point. I got a 94 4.0 Ranger STX. Intermittent healthy crank no start, i will check inertia switch but since it’s intermittent, cant that be ruled out? Also I noticed that when the truck starts the CEL displays with “key on” pos. but if the CEL light does not display, it won’t start. I have checked all the fuses and are all intact, my next plan is to replace relays, however I do not see that being the main solution because I switched all of the relays around and nothing changed, fuel pump is hot wired with a 30amp from pin #30 and #87, yet the intermittent proceeds. Could use some advice, i’ll check back

But from my research in other videos and forums lead me to a lack of power to the EEC/PCM hence the no CEL while key is on.

I got a 96 Mazda b4000 which is prettt much the same truck an it started acting like the battery was going out when you would crank it and it just would turn over an then sometimes it would crank up just fine. An then sometimes it wouldn’t crank at all but you could wait 30 min an then it would crank up no problem. I’ve tried jumping it off but I’m sure the battery is okay but now it won’t crank at all it’ll click an not turn over what so ever. I tried to use a screwdriver to by pass the relay thays on the side near the battery an it’ll spark but won’t turn the truck over. So I’m thinking the starter may be bad but I’m really not sure

Hey. I have a question. I have hesitation/rough idle or fluttering in my 1990 Ford Ranger w/4.0L. Over the past few days, I've been seeing if there's a pattern to it. It won't do it on an overnight cold start. It's only happens when I drive it probably 20-30 minutes or more, shut it off, and when I come back out to start it from wherever store I went in, it will really hesitate. Today, I went to get something to eat. When I came back out, it majorly hesitated and then shut off. I started it again and had to keep my foot on the gas to keep it from shutting off again. Once I gave it gas and then left the restaurant, there wasn't anymore noticeable hesitation. I stopped at a Family Dollar not even a couple of minutes after leaving the restaurant. Shut it off. Was inside 5-10 minutes, came back up, started right up. Just wondering what could be causing it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Got home and it ran good and hard, I thought maybe....! Then I went to start it to pick him up and he started, and then 3 seconds later it died, then I got the no start again! I have been working on it all weekend and I am Just tired of the BS! I even went out and started and drove my 95 Probe GT, then yelled at the truck "See what you made me do, I will replace your ass"!
