I had a customer come in the other day that said he had an oil leak and was using a lot of oil. He bragged that he has spent little or no money on his Ranger and wanted us to look at it because it was raining out. Well I put it up on the lift and sure enough you could see that little had ever...
Well I needed a new exhaust system on my 91 with a 2.3 Being CHEEP I was able to get an exhaust system from a new EDGE and made it fit my truck for about $30 total cost. The pipe is 2 1/8" and yes i carry my spare in the bed.The sound is as quiet as stock and gained 2 mph and feels a little...

MY 2 CENTS.......... the ford drive by wire has 3 sensors in the pedal assembly. If one of the sensors fail the throttle body goes to failsafe mode and will idle only. If more than one fails the engine will go to idle for approx 30 seconds then shut off. Also in the pedal assembly is a tension...
The valve you are referring to is the canister vent valve. The valve is normally open without power and closes with power. These valves do get dirty and stick.

The armrest/door pull (vinyl and foam covered piece) has broken on my Ranger I have not been able to find a replacement. What have you done to fix the handle? At this point I'm about ready to cut a piece of 2x4 and screw it to the trim panel.
Yes the engine is an interference engine.... The chain and tensioner should last the life of the engine with regular oil changes. WARNING do not loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt. the crank gear is NOT keyed to the shaft. The gear will slip and cause engine damage...
