03 ranger stalled and wont start

[jayellcowen]

a few months ago I bought an 03 ranger 2.3 L 4cyl 5 speed. its the xl base model. It just turned over 70k.

I was driving yesterday and out of no where it lost all power and then stalled. I was driving about 15 mph. It would not start up again.

plugs are new. and thats all i know for sure. I just got it.

the only other problem it had before was that it would be hard to start when warm. i would have to crank it a little longer and the idle would drop for a few seconds as soon as it fired up. it always fires right up in the morning when its cold.

there is a cel but I have not checked it yet. I cant say I know how.

I am thinking ignition coil (hopefully). but i really don't know.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

check for spark, and check for fuel pressure. also check the timing belt too

Well, you are posting in the 2001 and newer forum, which is almost exclusively duratec...
