Asked by dwoods Sep 22, 2012 at 01:08 AM about the 1989 Ford Ranger
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
i have replaced the alternator, the voltage regulator connecter plug, the battery, the cylanoid,the crank sensor, put a new timing kit on it, and replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter but my truck still will not run or idle as long as the voltage regulator plug is connected to the alternator. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be????

I would say either there is a short somewhere or the new alternator could possibly be bad, which is unlikely but not unheard of or impossible.

I have a 96 Ford ranger, 4 cylinder manual and have a problem I can't figure out. I can start the truck every time with no problem it isles great and I can sit there and rev it all day no problem but if I go to drive it I can make it about 1/2 mile and then that's it, ill press the gas petal and it won't do any thing but kill the gas (no gas) but soon as I take my foot off the gas it will idle just fine and rev fine but won't go anywhere unless I let it sit for a few mins and it will start all over. I have replaced the IAC, TPS and today the external fuel filter that was clogged but same thing. Once in a while if I push the clutch in it will stay at a rev for a sec. Please help 3 answers
