I would recommend you change the fuel filter and then see if it will start with at last 3 gallon of fuel in the tank. If it still will not start try using some spray starter fluid to get it going.

    today I replaced the fuel filter and used a compressor to blow air back into the tank (in case clogged) and shot fuel into the intake and still wont start. When I put fuel in the intake it runs until it burns that out and dies again. also checked the fuse and it was good... Oh ya I have 1/4 tank of gas while doing this stuff also

My 2015 ranger wont start after bump

If you mean you had an impact,it probably tripped the emergency fuel shut off switch. Usually it's down behind the kick panel at your or passenger's feet. Just push button down to reset. don-ohio (:^)

My hhr ran out of gas, filled it, now it wont start at all.

Only Ford products have a Fuel Safety
Reset Switch & they only open in an
accident
Have it towed to a shop & diagnosed
Given the age & the fact you ran it out
of fuel,I would say the fuel pump needs
to be replaced

I have a 2007 Ford Ranger that won't start. There were no problems starting and was fine yesterday. I went to start it up this morning and all I heard were cranking noises and the dash lights would go...

I did not read anywhere where you tried to provide additional power to the starting sequence.

try jumpstarting it. If the works, go to Autozone, they will test the output of the alternator and the charge on the battery.
When jump starting please turn OFF all accessories.

good luck and don't forget to vote!!!

My ford ranger turns over fine but will not fire up

On passenger side, inside of cab there is a fuel inertia switch mounted on the firewall by where feet go. There is a button underneath, push it. This will reset switch. Truck should get fuel now and start. These switches get weak and if passenger kicks it truck will shut down. Will still turn over but not start.
