I have a 94 Ford Ranger I been using to get back and forth from work. It has a 4 cylinder engine. I bought it last year from my great uncle last year. It wasn't running and he spent a better part of last summer working on it. Despite that. I still agreed to buy it from him. I had it towed and fixed. It turned out the gas tank was filled with water.
The Ranger served me well all the way until two weeks ago. It refused to start up. It all started with the starter. I replaced it and the truck ran for another three weeks until two weeks ago it broke down in my driveway.
The first thing I checked was the starter and had the battery tested. Both was good. Then I got my truck running just long enough to hear it back fire. I checked the timing belt and found it was so worn out I was able to pull it off the engine. I replaced it, time it. Still won't turn over. The engine wouldn't even spin. I found that battery died. I bought a new one and it died. I charged the new battery and found that my truck not pumping gas. That's not good. The fuel pump is supposed to be brand new. It was replaced last fall. I checked my fuel filter and it's good. Looks brand new. My 30 amp fuse that's for the fuel pump was blistered and corroded. I replaced it and it still won't turn over.
Makes mater worst is my water pump is not going to last much longer. It's probably got a few months left on it.
I realized the other day that I am pretty much doing the same thing my great uncle was doing last summer. It's like chasing a ghost. My dad listen to it the other day and told me the truck could have gotten contaminated with rain water again. That makes sense to me. We had allot of heavy rain here lately. My truck has been losing power. I'm not spending any more money on this truck. I can't take the bed off it by myself to drain the tank or replace the fuel pump or tank..
Going to buy another truck later.
Not to happy about this. The money I spent on my truck I was going to spend on my Torino.
What do y'all thank.
