This is my second post on this Ranger. I recently did a bunch of work to my 87 Ranger and it has been great for a few months, but yesterday I stalled and couldn't get it started in a parking lot. I sprayed starter fluid in the intake and still the engine just turned without firing, so I am assuming it must be spark.. Previously it would not start due to no pulsating ground to injectors, which was fixed by a new ECM computer module. Since the computer module was replaced so was the ignition module, relays and relay connectors, spark plugs, ignition timing done, and most recently- the ignition coil.
After I got stuck in the parking lot I messed around with it for about an hour, but nothing seemed to work (including starting fluid). Then randomly it fired back up and got me about 4 miles to home. Today I got it running and made it about a half mile and it actually stalled while going about 20 mph and now refuses to start. While it was running during that half mile it was completely fine running like normal. I replaced the ignition coil right there on the side of the road, but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?
