UPDATE! One of my fuel injectors that I just purchased in went bad. It was stuck open and filled my intake on cylinder 1 with fuel. I replaced it with on of the old ones I had but still getting misfire. Because the cylinder was full of fuel it fouled my plug. I'm thinking it may have blown the...

I changed the wires yesterday and I am still having misfire and both o2 sensors are saying they are stuck rich and I'm smoking and you can smell the unburnt fuel. I also unplugged my maf sensor and the truck idled with no change and started with it unplugged. Even after resetting the codes.

Well I finally got a code. Cylinder 1 misfire (easy right?) Changed the plugs. Still misfiring. Changed coil pack. Still there. Took the plug wire off cyl 1 and swapped it for another. Still cyl 1 misfire and added multiple random misfire code and cyl 3 misfire!! The plug wire I swapped out was...

Thank you for info I will check those. I am not sure what "baro pid" means. You said it would be helpful.

I'm sure it is possible. I have sprayed ether while it was running to try and identify any vacuum leaks with no change. I know that isn't a fool proof way but it is the best I have at the moment.

Yea IAC is what I meant thank you.

I am not throwing any codes. I have a scan tool.

My 04 ranger edge has been havin issues with hesitating when i take off. I have noticed that it only does it now when the engine is warm. Also when idling it will randomly stutter like it is trying to stall. Originally I thought it was the a/c compressor kicking on and off but it does it with it...

I tried to clean the IAC Valve and it did not help I am going to try to replace it. I was wondering if I should do my TPS at the same time? The hesitation is getting pretty bad. I have to feather the clutch and Rev up the motor to take off from a stand still.

Just an update, I cleaned the iac and it did need a new o2 sensor. No codes as of yet but evap still needs to go. Found out that the Vapor canister on my truck is actually supposed to be on a 4.0 not 3.0. Don't understand that bit have a new one on the way. Will it cause any issues if I was to...

Thank you for the suggestion I will swap the o2's tonight and try that. Thr rpm was getting stuck at 2800 to 3300. As I came to a stop and applied my clutch it would just start climbing out of nowhere. It is getting to be over 100° now so a negative effect on performance is expected. I will...

I would google front end suspension and steering kits. Should run $300-$500 in my experience and (generally) really not difficult to put on the parts especially with haynes manual. Will come with ball joints, tierod ends, sway bar links etc.

Hey guys my 04 edge with 3.0 has been acting like it is going to die when taking off, giving me p0171, and getting stuck in high rpm when I was coming to a stop until I bumped the throttle a few times. My purge valve was bad and I changed it. Also put new gas cap and new fuel pump and inlet fuel...

Thank you for all of the responses. Im going to try to find a 3.0 motor and keep it as is so i can get it back on the road. From what I was told today it will be anywhere from a week to 6 weeks before I can even get one here then I still have to transfer the parts and drop it in. This forum has...

The performance leaves me wanting. It doesnt want to get moving and the fuel mileage sucks at an avg of 14 mi/gal. Between my rack and tools I am carrying a lot of weight on a fairly regular basis. This is why I would consider going to the 5.0. I think the mileage would be about the same except...
