Fuel Pump in 86 Ford Ranger?

Hey guys

Well I have a 86' 2.3 liter Ford Ranger. I don't know much about it, but it makes a loud clicky noice when it's running. It's extremely slow, and I usually have to mash down the gas to go normal speed. I was told the oil pump is bad but I'm not sure.

Anyways, I was driving today and going about 50 when the engine suddenly turned off on me. I pulled over, and the car would not start. It cranks but it won't turn over. And now, 3 hours later, it still won't. I'm thinking maybe it's the fuel pump?

I have a few questions.
1) Is it fuel injected, or carburated?
2) Is the fuel pump in-tank?
3. What other problems could this be?

Thanks a lot

well, does it have a carburator or fuel injectors? i have an 86 that's fuel injected so that's my guess. don't believe the fuel pump is in the tank, should be down underneath the bed or cab (not exactly sure). get underneath and have someone turn the key to on position, don't try to start it though, and listen to see if you hear it come on. should hear like a little buzzing sound somewhere for only a second or two. what else ? ? ? could be fuel pump alternator, timing belt, a ton of different things. start with the cheapest and go from there.

i take it back ! it does have 2 fuel pumps. one in the tank and one on the frame
