Stephen-H Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 have you got fuel coming to the injectors & have you check for any air leaks in the fuel system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I'm not a diesel man but the 2 Mazda pick ups that I know of seem to go on for ever. FWIW the Ford Ranger is a re badged Mazda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Water in the fuel perhaps or as said pulling in air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Take inlet pipe of and give it a blast of easy start or brake cleaner if compesions are good should fire up for a second or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 As you say yourself it could be one of many different things. The fact it turns over is a good start though. My only worry would be why he's selling it if it might be an easy fix. If your truck died on you, would your first thought be to flog it or try to get it fixed?
