94 Ranger 2.3 4spd wont start.
My son's Ranger wouldn't start today, turns over fine, added gas to make sure it wasn't out still no hit.
Other than fuel pump (he said he couldn't hear it) what things should he check?
I'll check back in the morning.
thanks
John

Timing belt is a good possibility. They often decide to loose their teeth on startup. The engine would in most cases crank over differently than when the belt was correctly timing the valves. Compression would be lost, so it would crank faster.
Second thing is spark. Get a spare plug, and connect the coil output while laying the plug on a grounded spot. Cranking should get you sparks. You might want to also check the relay that powers the computer, and maybe listen for the injectors ticking. But I think that the fuel pump priming indicates the computer has juice. Check the grounds on the coil too.
