My engine cranks over but not run can you help?

I bought some gas with water in it. I found this out when my truck would not start. Replaced the fuel filter and added water remover to the gas tank, It would run but was very rough. The tank finally needed to be refilled so I put a tank of premium in it. Fifty miles later, then truck stalled and died while going uphill on a freeway. Once home, I changed the cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, and the positive cable to the battery terminal. Sounds like it wants to start but does not quite get there. Anything else I can check before the mechanic comes here tomorrow?

Thanks so much. The mechanic came out, and the trouble was really corroded cables. He cleaned them up easily, and now the truck is running again.

Well at first the car was overheating and was losing radiator fluid, but could not find the leak and was white smoke coming out of exhaust. Changed the water pump, and fuel filter, also did radiator flush. That seemed to resolve the leak, but truck still will not start. Changed spark plugs, wires, starter solenoid, and got a new battery. When I tried to start, it appeared to want to start, but then noticed, which was not happening before. Coolant was in my oil. Could this be my intake manifold gasket? Or maybe a blown head gasket? I did not have coolant in oil, until I tried to start this last time.

Well am not using waters, and was running, before. I just wanted to stop the over heating issue. I just noticed when I drained the oil. Coolant came out also. Just did an oil change with all this work I just did and no coolant was in the oil. So still a blown head gasket or replace motor? I did use some water before, when over heating, but changed to 5050. But after I decided to change the water pump. I did an oil change. It looks normal the oil. Have not driven since, because it would not start. It turns over but no start. So from trying to start it all this happened or do you think the head gasket was blown before this, because of over heating and white smoke?

Hey, I have a 1988 ford ranger and it just won`t fire. What happened was I backed into a ditch going backwards down a street and it just cut off. Then when I tried to start it, it just turns over and wouldn`t fire. But of course I take it to a mechanic in this little town I live in and they unhooked the ignition and only god knows what else and then expected me to pay for it when they couldn`t fix it. The fuel pump is working but they said that no fuel was getting into the ignition. Me and a couple buddies tried to put some wires together in the ignition to try to start it today, we had it hooked up to another car with jumper cables just to make sure. I don`t know if the batteries so dead or what but it made some grinding noise like the battery isnt dead. But we let it sit there hooked up to the other car for about 15 min and still not turning over. Any hints or help to what I can do?

I tried that the first day it stopped working. Although the red button was not under the carpet, it was under the dash on the passenger side. Maybe the button is defective? Or is there another button that I am not finding?

I heard the buzzing while trying to start it earlier, right now I can`t check since the battery is completely dead and not able to hook it back up. But I looked at the inertia switch and it looks like the mechanic took it out and wired it together while there.

I have a 1987 ford ranger 2.3L with 70,000 miles. Will not start. Getting spark to spark plugs, fuel presser is 40 psi. No power going to the injectors, replace computer. Still no power. I really need help on this please.

Hey is there any power at all from the battery such as being able to listen to the radio and operate the lights and stuff ??????

If there is then you have a problem.......
If there is no power reaching the accessories then check your power relay center fuse box its under the hood
then on that check the positive and negative wiring running to and from the box.....Because a engine along with the radio and stuff will not run if your wiring is loose from there.....check this guide out

The head lights work and the radio works. Thanks for the info. It still not get power to the injectors

Sorry I don't know what to tell you just out of the top of my head cause I would have to see it to know exactly what it is
all I know is that your car has a big problem and id take it to a good mechanic that you can trust

I changed the motor in my 1986 ford ranger xl 2.3 5 speed. But now it will turn off but will not start. Timing is correct so what else could be the problem. Will turn over but won't start. I changed the whole motor it' a 1989 engine.
