I'm working on a friends 88 Ranger with a 2.9, and a 5 speed, it was sitting for a few years, and he changed out a few things to get it running.
New:
Fuel tank.
In tank pump, and sock.
High pressure pump, and filter (blew out the fuel lines).
Fuel pressure regulator.
IAC.
TFI module.
It was running fine for about a year then it suddenly decided to die out (hot, or cold didn't matter) it would start right back up, but it would cut out, and back fire in the intake. I pulled the codes and got a PIP, and O2 sensor code, so I replaced the TFI module, the pickup in the distributor, and the O2 sensor then cleared the codes. Now I have no codes, but it still dies out, and acts up same as before only it does it after it's been run awhile. One thing I noticed is that the ECM gets so hot that you can probably get burned if you touched it. I don't know much about these ECM controled engines (just enough to be dangerous), but it shouldn't get that hot should it?, and would that be part of the problem?
