I have a 2004 Ranger that is acting strange. When driving the engine quits suddenly. No sputtering, just quits. If its rolling I only have to turn the key off then on and it restarts. If stopped, I turn the key and engage the starter motor and it starts again. I've replaced the fuel pump and it didn't help. I've checked the wires to the key switch. Any ideas? I'm not sure if this is the place for this post....

I had a kawa mule that did the same thing. Would run fine then shut down. Would start right back up. Ended up that the carb float needle was sticking which was restricting fuel flow. Replaced with new needle and seat and no more problem. Might check that out.

Thanks, I'll look into this....

This might be it! I put some Seafoam in the gas and it now seems to be working. We'll see if it holds up.

Great. Good luck.

So far the problem is significantly improved but still exists at times. I'll let the SeaFoam continue to do it's thing and then check out the carburetor if there is still an issue. Thanks again....
