Hi Marco:
You will have to prove out the wiring to make sure there are no shorts, opens, or poor connections. If there are no wiring problems, then the EEC may be at fault. The crank sensor produces an AC voltage signal that may be getting corrupted by the time it reaches the ignition module, due to bad wiring. Make sure to verify whether the ignition module is receiving a clean strong signal by using an oscilloscope or at least measure the signal with an AC voltmeter at the ICM connector while cranking the engine. The voltage will vary with speed, you are looking for a steady signal that doesn't drop out or become erratic. You can run new wires, and make sure they are not connected to possibly shorted sections of the old wiring, by cutting the old wires off at the connectors and connecting new wires to the cut ends. Or replace the connectors and wiring if you suspect that the connections are bad. Inspect carefully for damaged terminals that won't make a good tight connection with their mating pins when connected.

Here is a basic diagram of the entire system, it is common to all the distributorless units even though this one shows a 6-pack coil.

First I sugest to check to see if the check engine light comes on key on engine off. Chekc the EEC Power relay in the fuse box switch with another relay (underhood fuse box, called PCM power relay). Check ground connectiosn.

#6 CYLINDER MISSFIRE 2000 FORD RANGER 3.0

We are hoping you do not have a spark plug problem. As you may know, various manufacturers have various problems each year, seldom the same. You may remember Toyotas had recall problems. Well, Ford has problems with spark plugs that fall apart while you are driving, and the worst part is, they fall apart inside the engine. Check with your local mechanic or Ford dealer to see about that.
Be blessed.

I have a 2000 Ranger with 4 litre v-6. Lately when I start it, it doesn't start the first time I crank it. It starts alright the next time. What would cause this situation?

Try a general tune up; new spark plugs ( properly gapped), new spark plug wires, new air filter, new oil and filter. The first thing I would do is run 2-3 bottles of injector cleaner though several takes of fuel and see if that clears the problem up. If the injector cleaner helps than it means you have alot of carbon buildup on your valves, piston heads, and spark plugs; if this is the case I would keep putting 1 bottle of injector cleaner in at every fillup for several months just to get rid of as much of the carbon as I could.

MY 2000 FORD RAGER HAS A SLIGHT MISS WHEN IDLING

Try putting a bottle of injector cleaner through it and see if it clears up at all. It may be that you have a little carbon build up. If that does'nt help you may need new spark plugs and/or wires. The coil may be on its way out too, but I would replace the cheap stuff first. If you end up replacing the spark plugs make sure they are gapped properly before installing them. They rarely come from the store gapped to the specification that is in your operators manual. Hope this helps. God bless
