2.3 won't start, gas flooding or crank sensor?

[Darthwillie]

My Ranger motor flood with gas i think, bcus of the smell of gas when i try to start the motor. I check the inertia switch and is fine, but, if i disconnect the cable plug of the inertia switch and try to crank the motor, it's start until instantly die (i know, is bcus still disconneted) but when i plug it again and crank now start with some problems until die again. The motor start ONLY if i do the previous mentioned in the same order, unplug inertia switch, crank the motor for run and instant die, plug it again, crank it and the motor run for like 3 minutes until die. The Ranger never show any problem at all until the timing belt was broken, i have to center the crank sensor bcus the belt move the sensor when broke, motor don't start for the sensor position problem and when i align the sensor it's turn on, i never replace the sensor, still running with the same old one. After the alignment of the sensor the Ranger run for about 1 week, and now is with the gas flooding problem (not sure). A bad crank sensor have something to do with the fuel pump?. Spark plug cable are new and have a strong spark.

ps: Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

if its flooded unplug the switch and crank it for a bit to try and blow the gas put I would start with that

I have done that, switched off the fuel pump switch, tried it, turned switch back on, then it will crank, then finally start, run rough, backfire some, die. Check the plugs and flooded again. Then wont start again. Getting spark, air, and fuel. My injectors are staying open and not pulsing

then something is up with your computer
Or your injectors are bad

Ok, I just got a used computer, pulled out the old one, visually looked fine. Had to deal with the anti-theft thing with the chip in the key. I have the plugs out and letting it dry out some. If this doesn't fix the problem do u think I could have a wiring issue with the computer?

it might be the injectors all so
What's your fuel pressure at?

[dannmu64]

50

More like really high lol

[dannmu64]

Where should it be at? Does that sound like a injectors themselves as a problem. I talked to a mechanic and he wasn't concerned about the fuel pressure being around 50. Might be closer to 47-49

Like 40 is good
idk I would try and find out why the pressure is so high

Thanks

Might be flooding because the injectors can't handle the pressure and stay open but idk
