I have a 94 ford ranger, the problem just started last night. The truck idles but shuts off immediately when i hit the gas to drive, anyone know what the problem probably is?

Answer 1

my answer is try to check it out first on auto repair shop..

Answer 2

it,s either getting too much gas or not enough. when it,s idling check to see if black smoke is coming out the tail pipe. try cleaning the throttle body out inside and change the gas filter.

Answer 3

As the prior answer states, It's either too much gas (not enough air) or too much air (not enough gas).  But if it's too much gas, check your air filter to make sure it's not so dirty as to be choking your engine out.

Answer 4

flooded engine?
