Diagnosis help
Alright guys, Ive got a 2005 ranger 4x2 with the 3.0. Im having problems with the engine shutting off when I am driving. It usually only happens when I first start it and put it in drive or if I am driving down the interstate. I thought it was the alternator so i changed it and its still cutting off. No check engine or service light until it shuts off. All the gauges on the dash will drop out and then come back, but the engine will be cut off. When I pull it off the road and crank it over its fine for another 40-50mi then it dies again.I dont know if its fuel related, electrical, or even where to begin. Anyone have any idea?

Swap out the Ecu and fuel pump relays for new ones. They are cheap. Get a code reader and try and catch a code

Stutters and dies could be a fuel issue. After it dies have you tried spraying starter fluid into the TB? Have you been checking for pending codes?

Just reread the thread
Did you swap out the relays as suggested?

Have you checked for pending codes? Even if the CEL is off.

The cel can be off and you might get a pending code. You have to have the issue a few times for cel to light. I solve lots of issues by checking for codes after you have the issue. The relays are less then $10. Go reread my posts

A tps issue usually throws a code. If it will ever not start try the starter fluid or a 1/4 of gas in the throttle body. If it fires up you have a fuel issue.
