how would the cat get clogged just from sitting. pull the FPR and see if there is gas in the fuel rail,thats how i found out when the f150 wouldnt start and there was water in it.water wont pass through the injectors

[drofman]

stupid question. air filter? Dave's right sometimes the canister has one, sometime not.

[Ranger Dave]

it should have one,its the only filter in the system

[drofman]

nevermine the air cleaner. it would run when you spray with the intake hose off.

[drofman]

87 didn't have another one on the frame rail?

[B5150]

its injected for 1. an the metel can lookin one is close the the engine bay. the part store said i have two filters. the metal. an paper one but i cant get that black canister open for the life in me. but looks like it should open

[Ranger Dave]

nope, my 86 ranger only has a filter in the canister,my 88 B2 has the canister and a filter in front of the HP pump
