I have a 2016 ford ranger 3.2 auto with tik tak noise or tapping noise from top cylinder,have changed injectors,Hydraulic lifters but noise is still on and engine list performance as well. Any advice please
Ivan from Australia 10 months ago
Im just selling my 3.2 2014 model same issue. Mine has been told failed injector leaking fuel and not allowing correct pressure to build aswell as high pressure fuel pump shit itself. ( guessing due to working overtime to make up pressure loss from dying injector). The ticking noise ontop of motor without hearing yours andre may have been the sound of injectors firing i had taken mine to mechanics 12 months ago regurding ticks ( when injectors were good) and was told the noise is normal but due to location of injectors directly ontop of engine they are more audible than other motors where injectors are on the side. *** not a mechanic. Just what i was told by going on 10 mechanics trting to find issue with my ute***

Try changing the pressure pump in the tank. I had the same issue. Did the change and it started pumping
Arnold from South Africa a year ago
I tested the pump, it worked outside the vechile. Seems like there is no power to the pump inside the tank.

Ford ranger 3.2 6 Speed wont start

Ford Ranger 2010 Picknup 150000 miles
I was driving my vehicle and it started stalling and hesitating to pick up and when I parked it, it started jerking while idling. Then I drove a short and it the engine just stopped running. I started again and it completely refused To start and it just kept cranking. After checking the intake pipe from engine into the fuel filter chamber, fuel was not flowing when I cranked the engine

Car cranks but won't start

Ford Ranger 2013  112130 miles
My ford ranger 2.2 won't start after major repair. The fuel pump in the tank runs non stop and also the starter will only crank for less than 5 seconds. I've noticed that the fuel pump only acts normal when I take out the pcm relay then I bought a new relay but it still doesn't act normal. Once the relay is fitted in the pump runs non stop until I turn the key to the off position.

The pump runs for more than a 2 minutes then finally switch off followed by a clicking sound in the pcm relay so I really don't know what to do from here

Mike from Australia 7 months ago
2014 Ford Ranger 6spd auto, only 78000kms on it, everything was perfect untill one average road hill climb in dural, then it started missing, then it felt like someone turning off the ignigition momentarily, then only very lite acceleration was avail, then it died all together. Cranks & cranks with tank fuel pump working, but None of the fuel lines had any Diesel at the filter under the bonnet had when i disconnected them all. Not a drop coming out when cranking & or ignition only applied. ?

10 failures

Ford Ranger 2012  40000 miles
These are the failures I have encountered with my vehicle: 1. Manufacturing problem: it did not bring kid locks in the back doors. 2. Door rubbers fall. 3. At its second maintenance after 10000 km, the fuel pump was not working any more. 4. The radio turns off and the volume cannot be raised. 5. The gearbox is failing: third gear won't enter. 6. The parking button does not work. 7. After 28000 km, the reverse started failing. 8. When the air conditioning is on, there is a considerable power loss. 9. Braking system failures: most noticeable when turning. 10. Strong burning smells coming from the engine. Can someone help me solve this situation?
