Having difficulty starting the Ford Ranger 3.0 TDCI engine is a common issue, often caused by a failing fuel pump. When this happens, the engine may take 3-4 seconds to start, especially when cold. One way to address this is to prime the fuel pump by turning the key enough, then turning it off and back on, which can help the engine start normally. If this method works, it may be time to replace the pump. The Delphi Gasoline Fuel Pump, part number CFD0029, available at Autozone for about $96, is a compatible option for the Ranger.
The Ford Ranger 3.0 TDCi is known to have difficulty starting because of fuel pump problems. If your car takes a while to start after you turn the key, you might need to get the fuel pump replaced.
The fuel pump has been changed, but the issue persists as the vehicle can only start after cooling down for an hour. Seeking assistance, contact at kalebantonius@yahoo.com.
Hello Antonio, I'm not sure if you've already addressed this or if you still have the car, but the problem is likely with the fuel pressure limiter valve located at the end of the fuel rail. It's a relatively affordable and simple part to replace.
The motor is working, but it won't start.
I own a 2008 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 TDCi engine, but it's having trouble starting up.
My Ford Ranger 3.0 is refusing to start, even though I've swapped out the injectors.
My vehicle only begins running after being pushed.
