As commented above. Try earth terminal removal for half hour. Helps reset things.

Ute won't start or run.

Ford Ranger 2015 3.2 Ranger auto ute 96000 miles
Car drove home perfectly. Next morning tried to start and eventually did, but would not rev over 800 revs. In addition, huge cloud of white/grey smoke came from exhaust. Now it won't start at all. Didn't notice any lights on the instrument panel but didn't really look either.

Engine cranks but will not start. White smoke from exhaust

Ford Ranger 2013 Ute 290000 miles
I noticed the idle hunting while stationary and decides to head home so i could inspect the issue. When i clutched in to come to a stop at an intetsection the ute stalled. Having not come to a complete stop i let the clutch out to roll start the ute and huge amounts of white smoke came from the exhaust and the ute would not start. *Engine cranks but will not fire,
*No DTC codes
*Replaced fuel filter

Fuel injection problem

Ford Ranger 2003 Hi trial 380000 miles
Hi All
The vehicle starts easily and on cold start will run for less than 5min before starting to develop a misfire or erratic idle every few seconds. On top of this problem it pumps out a lot of smoke (white /blueish colour). Once engine has run a while and one kills the engine and restarts it a few moments later then it doesn't smoke as bad but misfire or erratic idle still persists. Do I have a problem with the fuel injectors.

Car Wont Start after Injection Pump and nozzle Service

Ford Ranger 2011 Double Cabin / WLAT1272647 Diesel 2500cc / XLT 2.5 145000 miles
Before the Service the car had power from 1-100/120 but after that I could not make it go as fast as 160-180. Then I contacted a mechanic and he opted we change all four nozzles and check the injection pump plus the turbo. The pump was measured and deemed to be working fine, the turbo was serviced and the nozzles changed. After that the car started but it lacked power and white/grey smoke was almost constantly coming out (which wasn’t the case before, there was smoke but not as much) on top of that problem after some settings and adjustments on the injector pump more power was on the car but n… Read complete

2012 Ford Ranger 3.2 smoking

Ford Ranger 2012  200987 miles
When starting the bakkie it does puff out smoke for a while. The smoke is white and has a chemical smell to it. When the bakkie stands for a while longer, it smokes for about 2-3 minutes. After this the bakkie drives fine without smoking.
Besides the smoke on morning start up the bakkie drives fine.

Have anyone of you guys perhaps had these symptoms before?
