'86 Ranger with the 2.9L V6. I haven't put the diesel engine in yet because I still need to machine the adapter.
I have not removed all the wiring for the gas engine because my friend told me to hold off on it until I've got the new one running. I don't know why I listened because known of it can be used now. Where is the computer? Behind the aluminum panel in the firewall?
I'm glad you think emiss is for emissions, I kind of thought it was coming up because there's no engine. Is there just a fuse I could take out to make it go away? I don't really want to tear my dash open.
The key rotates fine; it'll shut off power, turn it on and start the engine.the problem is I can't remove the key from the ignition. I guess I could take the one out of the parts car I have and that way I'd have the position to turn on the glow plugs but I'd rather just put in a push button switch to make things easier.
What about no power to the radio? Fuse or wiring? It was working fine until i removed the engine. The power windows stopped working when I took out the engine but I found the plugs for them and now they work
The reason I was think of rewiring is that I have no idea what any of the wiring in the teu k is doing. I get the mechanics just fine but the electronics screw me up. What I was thinking would be to pull all the wirng in the engine bay, put in a key power switch to turn on the main power, pish buttons for glow plugs and starter, new wires to the lights, and a new wire to the radio. This would fix my key is stuck in ignition problem, emiss light, and no radio. That'd be a lot of work but it honestly seems easier then figuring out why my radio has no power.
