When I start my truck and only drive for a few miles or minutes and then shut the vehicle off, it won't restart for up to an hour. Eventually I hear what sounds like a valve opening and the hum of the fuel pump, and then the truck will start again. This problem has also caused my truck to not be able to pass the mandatory calif smog inspections, due to the mechanics can't figure out how to fix the situation. I feel the ford co. Should include the 94 ranger's in the same recall as the 93's that are having the same problem.

What owners say
I have a 1994 ford ranger. The truck after being parked for long and or short periods will not start, only crank. I have replaced the fuel relay, fuel pump, crank sensor. This is an intermittent problem. My car has been checked by three different techs and could not find any codes to fix the problem. Their opinion was either the ignition module or computer.
2 yrs ago truck began not re-starting after engine turned off for approx. 20 minutes. Would eventually re-start, 30 minutes to 1 hr later. In april 2002 truck started dying on the freeway and in rush hour traffic 10-60 MPH. Now it dies whether hot or cold, moving or at stoplight. On freeway this problem is very serious as one must try and make their way to the shoulder before vehicle quits rolling. Other cars swerve and blare horns. Restarts in various intervals 20 minutes to 2 hrs. Hammond ford found no problem (at $100 an hour) swanson ford, los gatos, ca found no problem and said there were no service or recall notes for this problem. (also $100 an hour) have replaced ignition module and fuel pump relay. Problem continues. Something which helps restart sooner pull out and cool down the fuel pump relay, then plug back in. Now even this action does not work 100% of the time. This vehicle is now parked because I am afraid to drive it. Dt
Engine simply quit and it will restart later. I've replaced timing belt, ignition system, fuel filter, fuel pump, distributor strobe and it continues to stall in traffic, when hot or cold
I have a 1994 ford ranger. A judge in california has orderd a recall of a lot of ford vehicles for stalling. The problem is with the thick film ignition (tfi) which regulates current going to the spark plugs. Since the tfi is mounted on the distributor, it heats up and fails. This is a very dangerous because this causes stalls at any speed -- even highway speeds! The recall will be for up to '93 rangers, but I have the exact problems stated in many articles: - http://www.coolcats.net/tfiwarning.html , - http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/dailynews/ford_recall001011. I have taken my ranger to the dealer service and they replaced the electronic ignition module and a fuel pump relay. I told them about the tfi deal and they insist that's not the problem. - what do I do? I fear for my life.
Defective fuel pump, causing vehicle to stall.
The fuel pump and regulator the oxygen sensor had to be replace when dealer didn't drill hole in right the bed sits to the side . Tt
