I picked up this 94 Ranger a few years ago as a potential DD. I paid $500.00 to a Transmission shop that was closing down and was clearing out all their crap. They told me that they had put in a new clutch. There was no battery so I never heard it run and they towed it to my place. I got it running but it had a miss and leaks oil a lot. Yesterday my Neon decided that it has had enough and decided to overheat and I cooked the rings driving home. So now I need to get a new vehicle. I could buy a used neon motor for $300.00 and swap motors. They get good mileage,about 30 mpg. But I'm cash poor. So I've decided to swap in the spare motor I was saving for my race truck. It came out of a 91 Explorer that a neighbor had rolled. I also paid $500.00 for it. I actually drove it to my place across some fields and it ran good. That was 4 or 5 years ago. The motor has been sitting under a tarp for a year since I pulled it. So now I've got a plan and have started on pulling the motor out of the 94. I pulled the wiring off the motor and have it off to one side except for one sensor wire. It connects to what I would think is an oil level sensor on the side of the oil pan. I can't figure out how to disconnect it. Can someone enlighten me?
