1987 Ranger Problem
By kcw573 - usenet poster
Problem: I have a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.3L, Fuel Inj., 5 spd.
About 6 months ago, the intermittent problem started.
While driving, the engine just dies. Bam!! I can immediately
restart it by cranking it. Or sometimes it restarts about 1-3
second after it quits.
I check the ECC error codes and got a 14 (PIP problem)
and an 18.
I have replace with new/ recond...
- engine ignition module
- rotor
- distributor cap
- wires
- ECC computer
Short of a "exorcism", do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,

I would check the fuel inertia switch, it is located in the passenger
footwell behind the carpet. Before pushing the reset button in, start
the engine and give it a tap on the housing with your palm and see if
the engine dies. This could also explain your ignition related trouble
codes, as it will cut all signals to the ignition. Simple, but worth a
try.

The inertia switch does NOT cut the PIP signal!!!
All it does is open the fuel pump circuit. The code 14 is a real big
clue to your problem. You have either a wiring problem or an ignition
module problem.
The inertia switch is not the problem with this truck.
