94 Ranger Starting Problem
Hello All
My 94 Ranger has developed a strange starting problem, When i go to start it is will start fine first time cranking, But if i do not get it started first time (ie i let of the starter to soon and it doesent catch) cranking it will not start, i will have to wait some period of time befor it will start again. if i try again to soon it will not start and then i will have to wait a longer period of time. it has taken from 30 sec to 15 min befor it would restart it isent a set amout of time, it seems random, what would possibly cause this.???? im about to do some long overdue work to it (plugs, wires Belts Ect.) so i hope that might help but its a problome ive net seen befor.
Thank you all

It is hard to tell what your problem is because it is unclear from your description whether the starter is still cranking but the engine won't turn over/start. If you are turning the key and getting nothing then that suggests problems in the starter and related components. But if the starter is working and cranking each time, that leads to a whole different set of issues. If you would clarify which it is perhaps some help can be offered.

EEC = Electronic Engine Control; this relay feeds power to the ECM (computer) when the ignition is on or in start. They are found in the PDB (Power Distribution Box), normally black in color, under the hood. In the PDB there will be some fuses and relays. The relays are an approx 3/4" square cube. You can't miss 'em.
