Truck ran great all morning....died on a scary road...just sputtered, stalled and died.
Spark good...clearly NO FUEL!
Did what I could, road side, and got it running and drove to safety.
After further diagnosis....I confirmed both Fuel Pump Relay and EEC Relay both work as they should....even swapped Fuel Pump Relay to confirm.
At Key On....NO FUEL PUMP PRIMING!
How did I get it running....jumped ground from battery to Red Diagnostics Port, to force pumps on.
So, with my diagnosis, I assumed it'd be the ECU....story there is a few months ago, I swapped in a used Manual Trans ECU from eBay....it's worked great. Being used, I assumed it went bad, so I swapped in my known good Auto ecu, when I got home....CAR WILL NOT START on Auto ECU....and will now only start on manual ecu, if I jump ground to said connector....
Any help would be much appreciated...this '85 2.3L EFI Ranger is kind of my daily transportation.
