Asked by fdrgr11 Sep 15, 2018 at 04:21 PM about the 1989 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 4WD SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 89 Ford Ranger manual that will start but as soon as I let out the
clutch or let go of the key, the engine dies. I have changed the coil, ignition
switch and neutral safety switch. Stuck on what else it could be...

1 Answer

switch is no good if it dies when you let go of the key the one down the steering shaft where a rod runs into it
