Sounds like the Fuel Pump and Possibly the Fuel Filter.

    No Problem! The real Problem here is that you really do not know what he did and did not do and where he left off Besides the Head. How is the Starter and Solinoid????

I LOSE COMPRESION AND THE TRUCK DIES AFTER IT IS DROVE FOR A MIN AND THERE IS ALOT OF WHITE SMOKE

White smoke is a sign of coolant burning. You most likely have a bad head gasket.

Just bought a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9liter v6. Truck will start and run for a minute then it dies. Tried replacing Ignition Coil, that wasn't the problem. No lights come on to warn you it just dies.

I recommend checking / replacing both the fuel and air filters. If one of them is clogged it will mess up the fuel/air mixture which could cause the truck to stall. I hope this helps you out.

1987 Ford Ranger. Won't fire.

Ignition module comes to mind. If you've tested for spark (holding spark plug wire near the block when cranking) and the cap and rotor are good, it seems the module is the only other area left to try. Best of luck Patrick. Please post back with any other questions.

Car died and battery light remains on even with new battery

Remove alternator and take to a parts store they can test for free. That is most likely the problem.

1987 Ford Ranger that sparks but wont' start

try to replace the coil and all the spark plugs also make sure that the plugs are gapped right. that info will be on the evaporation sticker onthe core support in the front of the truck under hood. I think it is 0.004 not 100% sure on that. I hope that helps

I just bought a 1987 ford ranger from an elderly women whos son just died. He had just replaced the head gasket **** didn't get it back running. The engine has spark at all plug but won't start even on...

Sounds like maybe the distributor is off. I run into that alot after that kind of engine work. Reset the distibutor to #1 TDC. I hope that I helped you. Best wishes.
