Hi guys,
Just picked up a 98 4wd ranger my 4th ranger. throwing code p0303
it has a rough idle but when driving theres no misfire or anything just at idle.
ive replaced the following
-Plugs
-Wires
-Coil pack
-mass air flow
-cleaned IAC
now heres where it gets confusing
i can pull the cyl 3 spark plug wire while trucks running and it will have no effect what so ever on the motor if i pull any other wire off the coil pack it hesitates and runs even rougher
same with the #3 injector i pull the connector and nothing happens if i pull cyl 3 injector it runs like crap.
So... i did the following i swapped inj 2 with 3
and the same thing if i pull the cyl 3(which was cyl 2's injector) wire no effect at all but if i pull cyl 2 (which was cyl 3's injector) it runs like crap so the injectors are fine..
im at a loss. if you have any ideas what i can do please let me know
forgot to mention im at 171k our taurus had 300k no issues same year same motor would really love to know where to start
thanks in advance
