Hey all,
I'm having issues with my '98 4.0 Ranger. The vehicles new to me so I'm still working on locating certain parts so location info is much appreciated.
It's had a hard start for a couple months now. 1-3 second delay. I usually give it some gas to get it going. Seems to help. Recently it'll kill every other start, shortly after firing. It fires up immediately after. When I get around the 45-60mph mark the acceleration leaves something to be desired and she'll bog a little. It'll also bog while in idle. Not enough to kill it but enough to delay acceleration if it's more than 30 seconds. I've been putting it in N during long red lights to avoid the delay in acceleration.
Gotta break in the work week coming up and this is the last to-do on this truck. Any help is much appreciated. I'm guessing it's a fuel pressure regulator issue but I'd like a second or 12th opinion on the matter. If someone could point me to the locale of the FPR and the testing port for a pressure guage I'd be much appreciative
