My '94 automatic ranger just cranks but will not turn over. Then about an hour later it starts right up. The weather has no affect. It only does it every three months.
Thanks, Kevyn

Kevyn,
Check for spark.Look at color it should be blue.
Weak sparks are yellow and tend to fail as the resistance
at plug gap increases due to compression.This is worse
at start and full throttle when mani. vac is low.
Wires and worn gaps increase voltage requirements
and get worse as miles pile up.
No spark? Check module and coil .Any trouble codes?
Good spark? check fuel system.Start at schrader valve
on fuel rail.Use gauge,pressure should be 30-40psi
after ign switch turned on (drops a bit after started)
Remember it's hard to fix things that aren't
busted so next time it happens think of it as an
opportunity to solve the puzzle, instead of getting
angry.Good luck
