I have a 2010 Ford Ranger. I parked it in back yard for winter. There are a lot of animals since I live out in the country. I drove to the gas station to put gas in my truck and soon as I left the gas station headed back home, my truck died. It acted like it wanted to start but for unknown reasons would not. SO we tow it back to house with another vehicle. Today, week later I decide to dig into the problem. I take off my air cleaner cover to inspect and low and behold, a chipmunk chewed the *BLEEP* out of my air cleaner. Bought a new air cleaner, took the wire mesh from the bad air cleaner off and made a wire cover to block the chipmunk from getting in again. Put everything back together. Truck wont start. So I am assuming that some of the tore up debris entered through the throttle body and is obstructing airflow.
