I am trying to get my mother in law’s Ranger running again. 2015 Ranger etx.
Symptoms- for the last couple months is would occasionally stall after starting, and often stall when stopping and putting in park. It would always start right back up. Recently stalled coming out of pasture and would not start again.
It has about 200hrs and 400 miles on it. Most of the services are past due so I have a service kit to change all the fluids, filters, belts etc. spent most of its life stored in garage or atleast overhang. Has been in some mud lately with all the rain we have been having.
No check engine light. I have changed spark plug and air filter and verified spark to plug. Oil is dirty but in range. Tested fuel pressure (58 psi) and doesn’t drop when I can get it fired momentarily with fluid. Bench tested injector (although I read later in service manual that it isn’t recommended) solenoid activates and was able to verify clean spray pattern blowing brake cleaner through it. Reinstalled tested ohms according to manual tested good. Used test light on harness and it was getting power when motor is cranked. Tested ohms on cps sensor, tested good. Unable to test t-map sensor however I’m not sure the symptoms match as it would idle fine previously and had smooth acceleration. Don’t think it’s a bad batch of fuel as it is driven daily and has had this problem through multiple tanks. Tested cylinder compression 150psi. Didn’t do leak down but didn’t see a noticeable drop.
I am at a bit of a loss as I feel I have verified fuel, air, compression. I am now left with possible timing issue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am getting close to having to take it in to the shop. Thanks in advance.
