You da man, RonD. Thanks.

Seems to be a loss of 12V to the fuel pump. Replaced relays. 94 OBD1 Ranger 3.0. Thanks.

Won't re-start after it cuts off. Has 296K on it. You can cycle the ignition switch on/off several times and it will restart. Fuel pump relay has been changed. Thanks.

Starts up from cold start good. As it warms up to operating temp it idles lower and lower and lower then cuts off like it's run out of gas. Never skips. Has a new IAC valve. This is a 94 3.0 OBD1. I don't have a fuel pressure gauge but the schrader valve squirts out good up to the hood. Thanks.

Guess I got what I paid for. Turns out that Masterpro was only guaranteed for a year. There is another model that has a lifetime warranty. Also there is a pump motor that just replaces the pump part. Anybody ever done that. The pump motor is a lot cheaper than the whole thing. Thanks.

My Masterpro MPA27004 lasted 2 years 1 month and 15 days. It was a Chinese brand from Oreilleys. Does anybody know of a better brand. I doubt I can get one from Ford for a 94 truck. Pulling that bed is such a pain in the @$$. Thanks.

Thanks all. If you've got a leak in the slave would the level in the reservoir go down? Or would air get in the line and not necessarily come to the top? I think you could jack up the driver's side and that would facilitate getting air out doing a gravity bleed. I checked my records and this...

I've never seen low fluid level in there. Can't you bleed it like you do brakes? Run a hose from the bleed valve back up to the reservoir, slowly pump it and make sure the reservoir doesn't run dry? Thanks.

Thanks. I was just wondering what it does. I've had some episodes of hard shifting. On Ebay there were a number of them sold so I was wondering if they go bad. Thanks.

What purpose does the rubber bulb in there accomplish? Do they go bad? Thanks.

When it blew, it was probably smoking so bad, people thought it was the mosquito abatement fogger truck going down the road!

And don't forget your cat. Its probably fried. You might could clean it, but I think I would get an 18 inch masonry bit and convert it to a non-alytic converter

I think I would just go ahead and pull the heads, clean it up and see what you've got. Winter is just right around the corner where you are and you won't want to fool with it when it gets cold. Especially if you're working on it outdoors or even in a garage. Good luck.

HOW did you blow up a 3.0??? I heard a lady on the radio, who was an Air Force recruiter, say she got 400K out of a Taurus. I suspect it was a U engine because I don't think the OHC model would go that far.

How's the condition of your filler tube? They tend to split right there where they go into the tank. If its not too bad you can repair it with Ultrablack.
