Hi forum,
Newbie here.
1989 2.3 L dual plug EFI 2wd Ranger with a recently rebuilt engine dies when slowing down. Just replaced the battery this weekend, and now, have run into the stall/dieing problem. It ran well for the first two months of operation after the rebuild and inspection.
It starts fine, Idles properly at warm-up and idles down to around 800 rpm and runs well in city traffic for about the first ten minutes. Then about 90 percent of the time it will die as you slow down for a stop. The dieing occurs whether the speed is 45mph or 30mph or 20mph. Also, The dieing problem began the day I replaced the battery. Now, after the engine is warm, As soon as you depress the clutch and get it to neutral to brake, it dies.
Whats going on??
P.S. I know that the only engine code I occasionally see is the ERG valve. The ERG code has been inturmittant since the rebuild -- see no other code.
THanks in advance.... Help!?!?!!
