does this pertain to the 2.9 engine...
on therangerstation, Resources, page, if you click on, Known problem areas, there are a number of facts, under the category, Engine... one of them is this, which I copied and pasted...
here it is, >> Engine Tapping: <<
Early Rangers with the 2.8L engine can have tapping that's audible in the cab. The noise is most noticeable in below freezing temperatures. The condition may be caused by the EGR solenoid assembly, which is in the engine control housing that's mounted on the right hand fender apron. Ford has a replacement solenoid assembly. All vacuum and wiring connections should be checked as well.
....................................................................................................
I was wondering if this problem, also, pertains to the 2.9 engine, as the 2.9 engine has an EGR solenoid assembly, too, like the 2.8 engine does...
and how would the EGR solenoid assembly, relate to causing the engine to have an audible tapping sound, that can be heard in the cab...
does anyone know how, or why, and have any logical ideas...
