Ford Ranger Lean Codes and Low Fuel Pressure with NEW Fuel Pump - Beware of Cheap parts!

[@kaptain1477]

I got a 2003 Ford ranger V6 3.0L RWD flexfuel with 278,000 miles I am getting lean codes from both banks. I had misfires on cylinder six as well replaced fuel injectors spark plugs wires coil pack and fuel filter. Car won't crank I only get psi of 50 before now it won't start. I guess I am gonna have to change the fuel pump. I also had transmission codes Torque converter control and It might be the torque converter or the solenoid. Both problems at the same time. I am just going to replace the solenoid and see if that fixed the issue because dropping the trans is something I kinda don't wanna do right now

I am thinking of getting a cheap pump and installing that regulator that you did to save money. I see pumps go for $200-300

@@kaptain1477 In some cases you can get just the pump itself and swap it onto the original sending unit assembly.
