No start
 

Ive got one for anybody out there, Yesterday changed fuel filter which was strange my ranger has the cartiage style filter not the inline open the canistor and there was no filter in it. Pulled #1 plug out and the tip of the plug was missing. Replaced plug and filter, reset timing ohh yea cleaned out throttle body with throttle body spray. Now the truck wont start. Ant ideas???

what year is the truck. you might have tripped the fuel inertia switch. they are usually in the cab on the firewall or passenger side panel at the passengers side feet. does it crank over and not start. was it running before you did the work

i am having the same problem my 95 ford ranger was bogging down going up hills and when i would press the gas own. now it wont even start everyone told me to change the fuel filter now it still wont start. any ideas what may be the problem with it????

there is a good chance you have a fuel pressure problem. here are some things to check. you should check the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. Pull the vacuum line off of it and see that you have vacuum and also that there is no fuel in the vacuum line. check to see if you can hear the fuel pump when you put the key to the on position. you should hear the FP for a few seconds. if you have a fuel pressure gauge check that fuel prressure at the shrader valve(looks like a vavle on a tire) you should have about 40. to eliminate any spark issue you can spray starter fluid into the throttle body if it trys to start you have spark and can concentrate on the fuel issue. I have never been to one but I have been told you can get a fuel pressure gauge at Harbor Freight for $10

Yes it was running but roughly

excellent feedback

You still have spark though? start with the obvious and work towards the complicated. spark is the first and fuel is second.
