You need to pull codes. The computer will tell you what went away.

My '94 Bronco had an issue with the fuel pump, and failed to start. I pulled
codes, reset them, and it failed again so I pulled codes again. The second
list of codes was shorter than the first, but the fuel pump issue was on
both lists.

You need to pull codes, make a list and reset them. If there is a repeat --
and I expect there will be -- then pull codes again. Fix the item on both
lists. Be aware that an item might affect a sub-system, and you have to fix
the main problem, not the sub-system.

We have a 94 Ranger V6 2x4. The engine was high mileage and had a
head gasket leak and was consuming oil. We replaced the engine with a
Jasper remanufactured engine. Everything seems fine with one
exception: it dies while driving with no warning.

We're looking for suggestions. The ignition switch was bad so I
replaced it. No difference. We've considered replacing the computer
but the frustration is growing to the point we're considering selling
the truck which we really don't want to do. It's in good mechanical
shape otherwise.

Help.
