Possibly fuel pump going out? 93 Ford Ranger

Today my 93 Ranger (4.0) started jerking when I started moving from a stopped position. When I pushed more on the throttle, it stopped. Someone suggested that my fuel pump was going out and another said that I have a loose wire going to the fuel pump.

I'd start by replacing the fuel filter and then check the fuel pressure with a gauge.

Did it immediately restart when you turned the key?

I don't know for sure but it's probably on the frame rail, 1'-2' in front of the tank.

car misses when cold

F

flirty1 on Dec 17, 2007

91 olds cutlass Ceria 2.5 L 4 cylinder when its cold like in winter it misses when first started after it warms up its fine. also if you shut it off and then restart within a short amount of time it will run funny and i have to tap the gas to get it back to running correctly then its fine. any ideas. i suspect the fuel injectors are leaking. also is it normal for gas to spill out when the gas station pump stops after filling it spills from the filler neck only for a second.i noticed when i had the car tuned up they replaced the spark plug wires but only 1 plug. could this be it. air filter is good replaced a few months ago. if needed i will take a video of it running so you can hear for yourselfs if it will helpRead More
