1986 Ranger 2.9L 4x4 Manual
Ok, the truck has some issues that need attention. The PO threw parts at the problem, so many things have been replaced and some have not.
Issues:
Hard start after sitting 45 minutes.
rough idle
seemingly a misfire
Backfire that blew out the side of a fairly new muffler.
The first thing noticed was that there are a lot of wires that need attention. Some have missing insulation and some have horrible repairs. This will be sorted out as there is time.
The truck currently starts up and runs, but I wouldn't say well. The PO put on a bunch of new parts, but said that it still probably could use to be timed. Not sure if this would cause these issues.
Any suggestions on where to start, other than fix the wires and replace the muffler?
