I bought a 94 Ford Ranger that had been sitting for some time. I drove it over 25 miles home with no problem. I have been doing some work on it (non-mechanical) and took it for a ride and put $10 of gas in it. It ran fine, then all the sudden it acted like it was starving for gas and died, I got it restarted and got it home. I had probably driven a mile total.
Changed the inline fuel filter and it was horribly clogged. Replaced with a new filter and took it for a ride. It does the same thing. It will run for "x" amount of time/distance (anywhere between 5 blocks and 10) then it will starve for fuel. I can keep it from dying but it won't recover. As soon as I let it die or kill the engine, I can restart it and go for however long it pleases until it starves for fuel again and we start all over.
Any Ideas? Everyone I know is stumped. Checked EGR valve, MAFS, relay and even pulled the new fuel filter to see if it was clogged. I was not.
All I can think of is to drop the fuel tank and see if the sock is clogged on the fuel pump. Please help. I am running out of daylight and only have one day off.
