A suggestion would be to check your fuel filter to make sure it is not stopped up. Your fuse to the fuel pump may also need to be checked. Chevys are notorius for bad fuel pumps.
Hi James,
Did truck die on you while driving or just not start one day? It is very likely you need a new fuel pump. AIRTEX Part # E2363M, but double check. Checking bad pump requires OBD II scanner to read codes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu2YJQ1xOss Changing fuel pump is not hard, but takes a set of skills, time & care is also required. 2.3L is fuel injected which means it is in your fuel tank.
(If you had a carburetor the pump would be at front of engine & easier)
You will need a trusty mechanic or some good friends..New pump is about $135 from Rockauto slightly more from O'Reilly etc.. Dealer will double that price, local mechanic will charge $150-180 plus hourly labor.
Something else in addition to air filter, that you can do yourself is change fuel filter & plugs. Get better mileage to help pay for new pump. Fuel filter is about $30 for good one. The fuel filters are located in nearly same location on all Rangers regardless of engine & year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5taAFsAbx0U
Changing spark plugs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UujrhSmPho
If it is firing, but doesn't quite want to go also be sure you have spark.
Remove plug wire number one and carefully put a nail into spark plug cap, rest it on the exhaust manifold while you watch have someone turn the engine over for a brief moment to be sure you see spark. DO NOT TOUCH while turning over or you can get a nasty shock.
Check fuses as well. PEACE
The longest is one all the way to the left. 2 next longest 3 next shortest. 4 shortest. This guy made a video of it post a comment to his video and ask him. he prob knows. that is what I would do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40NQtloSXsc
Hi Sathish, I work for the Ionic Pro company. What country are you trying to use the unit in? This will help me determine how to assist you. Thank you, Mary
Sounds like it needs a good cleaning. Does this one have the metal bars that pull out? I have a ionic pro and when it gets dirty it will emit small sparks where the dust connects from one bar to the other. It also has a pull up wand that cleans the wire that help build the charge. If this is the system that changes the charge on the ions to attract them to plates, you will see small sparks when it becomes dirty. Mine always let me know by the sparking sounds it makes.
