I think my issue might be with the Inertia switch, but it could still be something in the fuel system (i.e. Fuel Filter, Pressure Regulator, Fuel Pump). What is Oppo’s thoughts?

I would guess it’s best to start with the fuel filter, especially since it seems like an intermittent problem.

I would investigate the fuel pump and it’s relay. You should be able to bypass the inertia switch (temporarily, I don’t recommend bypassing safety devices permanently).

If it’s neither of those I’d look at the TFI module.

It looks like it isn’t even turning over. If the engine isn’t turning over when you turn the key then it isn’t fuel related.

Assuming my video watching skills are shit and out is actually fuel, I would rule out the inertia switch by bypassing it which is easy because it only has two wires.

When it finally starts up, does it stumble and run a bit rough or start up like normal?

It starts up like normal, but not immediately. and the inertia switch is technically electrical, but also technically part of the fuel system

Well yes, but the inertia switch only cuts power to the fuel pump, what I meant by electrical was something that would prevent the engine from cranking over when trying to start.

So, does the engine turn over when trying to start it?

Yes, It turns over

Ok. Try disconnecting the inertia switch. Then get a short piece of wire with stripped ends and use it to jump the pins in the connector. If it doesn’t change then that isn’t the issue.

Then check fuel pressure. There is probably a YouTube video showing how and you could probably rent a gauge from a parts store.

I don’t recognize the dash cluster... is it a GM product? Because I had a ‘95 buick regal (3.8l v6) which would cut out while driving, intermittently, maybe once a week for about a year. It was a camshaft position sensor going bad. No sensor response = no rpm, so the computer stops sending spark and fuel to the engine and you get a dash full of warning lights. I tried fuel cleaner, fuel filters, fuel pump... before I found a known issue with the sensor via Google. All Hail the omniscient Google, oracle of useless data and forgotten lessons learned. Good luck with Veronica, post us an update if and when.../

Its a 93 ranger and I'll keep updating, for now she's running ok though
