Detailed Description
Sparta PN4045 is engineered for higher-mileage and earlier model vehicles, drawing on OE fuel system expertise from Delphi distribution. This fuel pump hanger assembly is built for the 1985-1988 Ford Ranger and is designed as a direct replacement for the original in-tank fuel delivery module. It uses an electric turbine-style pump, includes the fuel sending unit, and provides the components needed to restore fuel delivery and tank level reporting in one service part. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps E2096S and Carter P74549S for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Hard starting caused by weak or inconsistent fuel pressure
- Engine stalling from fuel delivery interruption
- Incorrect fuel gauge readings from a worn sending unit
- Low fuel flow from a failing in-tank pump
- Fuel system service needs on a Ford Ranger with an aging hanger assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify tank condition, electrical connector condition, and fuel line routing before installation. This assembly uses a quick-connect outlet, female connector, and pin terminals, so confirm the vehicle harness and fuel line ends match the original configuration. Replace the seal and lock ring during service, and inspect the tank strainer area for contamination before returning the vehicle to service. Fits 1985-1988 Ford Ranger, N/A.
