2004 Ford Ranger Won’t Start

” My 2004 Ranger won’t start sometimes. I brought it to the dealer, but they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Now, two weeks later, it’s still not starting sometimes. HELP!”

Well, since the dealer couldn’t find anything wrong, there wouldn’t be any trouble codes stored in the computer. SO, first check the stuff that won’t trip computer trouble codes when they go bad. The number ONE problem like that is fuel pressure. The computer in your Ford has no idea what the fuel pressure is, as there are no fuel pressure sensors on that vehicle. So change out the fuel filter, and have the fuel pump pressure tested. The last one I fixed like that had a weak fuel pump, and when I replaced the fuel pump, the vehicle never failed to start again. But try the fuel filter first, because it could be clogged up and cause the same symptoms.
