Why is my Ford Ranger experiencing engine failure?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and have noticed that the engine frequently shuts off on its own. This has happened multiple times now and I'm starting to worry about the reliability of this vehicle. Any suggestions on what could be causing this issue and how to fix it?

It sounds like your Ford Ranger may have a faulty fuel pump. This can cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly. I recommend taking it to a certified mechanic to have it checked and possibly replaced.

Have you checked the oil level and changed it regularly? Low oil can cause engine failure. Also, consider getting a tune-up if you haven't in a while.
