To start, I've done searches, but they never come up with a definitive answer.
1992 Ranger 4.0 4x4 125wb
The issues I have are:
A/C clutch engages/disengages causing my idle to drop and then overcompensate.
So, I unplugged the A/C compressor and now when I'm coming to a stop the idle doesn't like to come down below about 1,100 RPM so I'm fighting the engine/transmission with the brakes when I'm stopping, but after I have stopped it comes down to about 700RPM.
Another thing is that the automatic transmission seems to wait until I'm almost completely stopped before downshifting into first, so when I do finally stop it "clunks" into first and makes the truck lurch a little.
The other day I was doing my front brake pads, and had to turn the wheels hard over to one side. When I did this, with the engine OFF for some reason the power steering fluid cap blew off and spewed a bunch of power steering fluid under the hood all over everything.
So there are 3 issues, any ideas?
As far as the idle goes I figure some type of intake air leak maybe a vacuum leak?
