Hi there
Truck: 1986 Ford Ranger, 2.3L 4cyl gas, 2WD (Her names Eileen)
She spits and sputters and idles rough when it is warm out. Runs slightly better in milder temperatures. Also smells like gas all the time. My first suspect was the fuel pump, as I have changed the pressure regulator and EGR valve in the past.
BUT I discovered that The Haynes Manual shows that this year of Ranger is supposed to have an inline/high pressure fuel pump, but Eileen does not have one.
There is an unattached pigtail near the fuel filter, the wires are Pink and Black, as indicated in the manual. There is also an unattached green fuel line (or vapor line maybe???) coming from the tank... but I cannot find a good diagram to compare what mine looks like to.
But, I am assuming that the unattached pigtail is for the inline fuel pump.
My overall "question" is where/how do I hook up the inline fuel pump, as I do not have an old one there to take off and then reassemble with the new part. Does anyone know where that green fuel line/vapor line goes? Does the inline fuel pump go before or after the fuel filter?
Thanks
Ray
