misfire

I have a 2.9 5 speed ranger. I have made a prior post to this but didn't fix the truck.I stopped fooling with the truck for a while but I'm coming back to it. The truck has a low idle and will die after running for a while. When you give it throttle it misses really bad. Most of the time after...

Hello all, I had a few quick questions for those more experienced with this 3.0L motor. I just bought the truck with around 120k miles on it, and it had a little issue. If given enough time, I am talking like 10-15 minutes of idling, to the point where it was warm, it would to start to sputter...

Alright guys, I need some fellow mechanics to bounce ideas around with because I'm running out of them. Im working on a 87 2.9 ranger with ammeter for a buddy of mine. The ignition skips at idle and cuts out so bad under load it doesn't want to rev past 2000 rpm. It COMPLETELY clears up when the...

Hello, We've been having all sorts of troubles with this Ford Ranger we bought as a small project a few months ago. So far, we've replaced the engine after discovering the original had junk piston rings when we were trying to replace the heads and we've taken it to a mechanic who did nothing...

Recently purchased it, I’ve replaced just about everything I can think of. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor button, map sensor, fpr, ignition coil, is it ion module, fuel filter, cleaned fuel injectors, took cats off and ran it still does it. It’ll run and idle fine for the must part sometimes it...

I have 1991 Ford Ranger XLT 2.3L. 5-speed manual. I bought it for $1,000 and it seemed fine on the ride home, which was about a two hour drive. Then when I was a few miles from home, it’s like the engine lost all of it’s power and when I accelerated it was very difficult to get up to speed. It...

I posed this on a different ranger forum, fixed some other issues based on the replies(Thx, RonD) but not the main issue, so perhaps I can get some fresh eyes on the problem It is a misfire or intermittent lack of fire around 3000 rpm. The tach drops when it happens. I have replaced Coil, Fuel...

Hello everyone I have a 2008 ranger 2.3 that has a misfire. I notice that it happens more often that other Times. Every time I stay at a constant speed it let me speed up and I would have to let go of the gas pedal until it down shifts to another gear. I’ve replaced air filter, fuel filter...

This problem has been around since I bought my Ranger, but it also comes and goes, so I always end up forgetting about it but now it seems like it’s back and is going to stay. When it first started misfiring, I replaced the MAF sensor, air filter, plugs and plug wires, and it ran perfectly...

Hello ranger station i recently bought a 1988 bronco ii 2.9 5 speed that had been running like crap, My issue is when warm my truck idle surges at around 400-550 sometimes if i give it throttle it will go back to 900. (this sucks when driving in town and stop and go traffic on hills) it feels...

Hello, I recently purchased a 99 Ranger 3.0 Flex Fuel with about 184,000 miles. When I purchased it it had a fairly bad misfire on cylinder, it was noticeable at idle and driving. I have since replace the plugs and wires, ignition coil and the injector on cylinder 3, all helped a little and the...

Hello all. It's been a long time since I've posted. I sold my old 86 BII several years ago to a forum member here but I've, in the past year, bought another 86 AND an 89. My issue is with the 86. Base model, manual everything. TK5 transmission with 3.73 limited slip rear. Running...

Awhile back I was coming home and lost power and seemed to be misfiring and blowing gas from the pipe. It threw a p0340 code. It was out of time. Put new timing belt on and got back in time. Still wont hold an idle, hard to start, runs rough and shakes like a beast. Changed the cam sensor...

This whole problem started 3 weeks ago. I started my truck and let it idle for about 5 minuets and took off down the road. About 1-2 min later when I went to put the clutch in, it stalled as it went down to idle. Tried 4-5 times to start it, and it ran like normal. Drove it another 1-2 min and...

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 Extended Cab 4x4 off-road. About three weeks ago, the engine light came on so I stopped by AutoZone to pull the codes. It was a misfire on bank 6. So, I changed out the plug and all was fine... for a few weeks. Then, the rough running came back and engine light...

I've been using the information from the forum for some time now to troubleshoot my 1998 Ranger XLT 4.0L that I'm selling after 9 years and my new acquisition 2007 Ranger Sport 3.0L. I have found some very useful information and troubleshooting methods. I decided to join to post some of my...

Recently bought a 94 ranger xl 4x4 v6 3.0 manual. When I accelerate it feels like it's just not getting all the power to the wheels..bogs going up hills, and acceleration isn't consistent. Rpms move smoothly, but acceleration slows and speeds up and so on, as if I was feathering the gas...

I have a 97 ford explorer 5.0 V8 in a 2000 ranger. The complete wiring harness from the 4 door explorer is in this vehicle. This is my second 5.0 that has been in this vehicle. I have now been having problems with the engine misfiring, with no misfire cylinder codes. Doing 55 down the road it...
