I have an 05 ranger
I took out the fuel pump fuse to relieve pressure so I could replace the filter. Put the fuse back and now the engine won't start. Check engine light is now on. Please help, I have to go to work tonight so I need the truck to start. Thanks in advance

Is it cranking?

Yes cranks but won't start.
Battery is fine, and I just replaced the spark plugs last week

Did you try a new fuse? Did you get a mechanical fuel pump instead of a mechanical one or vice versa? Did you put the old one back on to check if it works?

Try putting a little bit of gas down the plug holes. We're not talking much gas here, just some drops down each.

Even better; start gas into the air intake

Any idea if the fuel pump has a primer on it?

Wut?

Did you put it back correctly? The fuel pump is not delivering fuel it seems.

I literally only removed the fuse. I couldn't get the fuel lines off the filter, so I was going to postpone the filter replacement. Didn't touch fuel pump at all, just its fuse. I don't have any starter fluid to spray in there, but I someone coming by in about an hour or so. Hopefully I get it fixed, but I'll stick around here until then

> check engine light is on
can you tell what codes it's throwing?

Here is a shot in the dark; disconnect your battery, turn on the lights to remove any energy left in the lines, wait a minute and then hook the battery up again
