I have a 87 Ford Ranger with the factory Mitsubishi diesel in it.
It has been hard to start for a while which I attributed to a glow plug issue.
It would always start after some cranking.
The other day I went out and it would turn over but not crank.....I suspect a fuel issue since I get no smoke from the pipe.
The factory fuel filter system was designed by an idiot after consulting with a moron and I want to replace the overpriced fuel filter with a spin on. I have a filter head that will just about bolt in the original location.
The problem is that there are a lot of wires and tubes sprouting from the filter housing and mount......prob a water sensor in there somewhere too.
It's a great little truck, although cosmetically challenged, and I want to use it as a daily driver since it runs good on 50/50 diesel/veggie oil.
Does anyone have a source for a repair manual for this critter...they are rare and this is the only one I have seen in person. I really need a schematic before I go in and start cutting wires.
