    YO!
    Steveo!
    Before you begin wrenching on that Ranger, consider that those older Rangers had a problem with the Impact Sensor. An electronic whatchamacallit that senses an impact and shuts down the injection system to prevent fuel under pressure from spraying from a ruptured gasoline line creating a fire hazard.
    Those sensors have a habit of just failing. And when they do, the engine receives no fuel, --- like bein' out of gas. It'll turn over, but won't start.
    10-4?
