What to do if your Ford Ranger is stalling?
You should be able to unplug the IAC (9F715) with the engine warm and have it remain running at around 550RPM and be able to control the idle otherwise. Make sure the air intake “zip tube” isn’t cracked causing an intermittent bypassing of the MAF sensor. I’ve seen that happen a time or two.
What does off throttle air control do on a Ford Ranger?
When you are off throttle air control is done with an idle air control (IAC) valve. This would be the first thing I’d look at. Do not assume that the error codes that come w/ the check engine light are unrelated no matter what anyone told you. Find out exactly what the error codes are/were and post them.
Why is my Ford Ranger engine cutting out?

When did Ford Ranger switch to SOHC 4.0L?
Lifters ride on the cam and push rods that extend to rocker arms in the heads which push the valves. The Ford Ranger switched from the OHV 4.0L to the SOHC 4.0L in 2001. The Ford Explorer actually started using the SOHC 4.0L in 1997 along with the OHV 4.0L. It wasn’t until 2001 that Ford completely dropped the use of the OHV 4.0L in the Explorer.

Why does my Ford Ranger not start up?
The fact that it runs as long as you spray the Quick-Start shows the engine is not getting fuel. Either the computer is not firing the injectors or something is keeping the pressure in the rail way too low. I would go back to the low or no fuel pressure as the first thing to check.

Why does my Ford Ranger run for a little then dies?
Next check is the fuel pressure regulator, your looking for fuel coming out the top and bleeding into the vacuum line thus flooding the engine. Another thing that happens is the distributor pickup coil can fracture, it runs good until it gets hot then it will go open and the engine stalls, and the ignition module can act the same way.
Can a Ford Ranger run with low fuel pressure?
So check the lift pump first if it is running and pumping a good stream of fuel then move onto the pressure pump, and yes your fuel pressure is low. Here is a chart. All makes and models. http://jameshalderman.com/links/book_adv_eng_perf_5/s_and_c/F uel_Pressure_Specifications.pdf
How long can a Ford Ranger go without a battery?
Sometimes the truck can go for a week without a problem and then you try to start it and it clicks twice like a dead battery and other times it keeps cranking and I let go of the key and cranks until I turn the switch back to the off position. I wait about 3-5 minutes and it starts right up.
