1988 Ford ranger 2.9 standard transmission. Truck cranked and ran fine for 30 miles. Parked truck for an hour, went back to crank truck and didn't crank. Started checking things out and found that I didn't have good fuel pressure. So I changed the fuel filter and the truck fired right up. Drove about a mile and it died. Towed the truck back home and started troubleshooting again. This time I didn't have spark. I have since changed the TFI module, the coil, plugs, wires, cap, roter, resistance checked every wire in the ignition wiring harness. I have power everywhere that the book says I am suposed to have power. I think that it is either the hall effect sensor or the computer. Please help.

Truck ran fine set for an hour or so come back would not star 3 attempts waited for a little while cranked up. went out this morning would not crank up 5 attempts.Notice batt. was dragging went and had it...

Most of your discription would indicate a bad starter,
if your talking about the engine turning over or cranking

Some people call a no start or no ignition, a not cranking
situation, which is a wrong statement.

You may have a bad fuel pump, if the motor turns
over but won't start.

The crank angle sensor maybe bad. It sends a signal to the computer so the spark plugs fire up.
