2002 ford ranger wants to start but won't?

I took the truck threw a mud hole. Made it threw then truck stalled. I got it to start back up but it was blowing out some smoke so friends convinced me to just let it sit and dry. I did that and now it won't start at all. It acts like it wants to but just won't.

Check your inertia fuel cut off, and reset. Anytime there's a heavy bump or? The fuel inertia switch will cut off fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel pump. Also check the timing, for bad timing belt.

PROBABLY water in the spark plug wires!

How do you know what it wants?

  • My 2002 ford taurus cranks but don't start? It starts when i put starting fluid my fuel pump won't come on can i try anything before buying a new one I meant ford mustang
  • 99 ford ranger clicks once, but won't start what could be wrong? The truck was running fine, but the day before yesterday it wouldn't start. All the lights and stereo come on so its not the battery. When you turn the key it clicks once but doesn't start. All the plugs are new and the belts, and the transmission is new too.
  • 2000 Ford ranger won't start, but still has power? It has a brand new battery, battery cables, ignition switch, starter, and starter relay. Yet when I get in it has power enough that everything comes on, but if I turn the key once, the entire truck goes dead. I can reset the battery, and the process will begin again. I don't have anymore ideas.
  • 07 ford ranger. Crank but won't start? Replaced pump & filter. 4.0 liter. Also hit gas reset. Took line off from filter & it's pumping gas
