Hey guys. I am trying to help out a single mom that my wife works with. She has a 99 Ranger 4 cylinder automatic.
When I first checked it out it had a broken spring shackle, erratic throttle position sensor reading, occasional stalling at stops, no speedometer, and the transmission was shifting erratically.
I changed the spring perch and shackle, tps, and vss. It now drives better, but the transmission isn't shifting quite right (at the right speeds - the shifts are nice and firm with no slippage) but it is shifting better than it was. But the speedometer isn't working. My Torque Pro app and bluetooth adapter will read vss usually but I can't get anything from this truck. Because of that, I don't think it is the speedometer itself. I tested the wiring from the sensor to where the harness goes into the truck itself and it is all fine. Any ideas of where to go from here?
Thanks, and sorry for the long first post.
