Question 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 XLT 4X4

Dear Enthusists,
My 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 XLT 4X4 5 spd. has been at times difficult to start and now it will not start at all. This has been going on for six months. Truck has 45 thousand miles on odometer. When it runs, it runs fine. Would someone out there have some thoughts on what to look at to solve this "no start problem ". Many Thanks, Lorens

Howdy. Check you wire connections for your battery, alternator and starter. My sister had a similar problem and that was her problem.
