I'm getting a p2004 code that the intake runner valve is stuck open. I looked at the valve and there's a vac line disconnected. Where do the vac lines hookup? Its a 2003 with the 2.3L.

There would still be a problem with the trans because put it in reverse it does move back a little same in drive. Also when I get going in 2nd and get up to 10-15mph I can move the shifter to drive and it will go through the rest of the gears including overdrive.

I searched TSB and recalls on the vin nothing that would cause this problem. Now that I have the truck and have it running I'll copy and paste the question I asked on another ranger forum: Ok the 03 Ranger that I just bought to restore and donate to the wolf sanctuary has a trans issue. When I...

Is the TSB on the 03 year too? It was sold as an 02 but I looked at the title and the title says 03.

Some pics I found of my 88 had bad damage to the mid passenger side. Wish I never sold it rather have an 88 than the 99 thats mine now. Had the carbed 2.0L and 5 speed of course I hate automatics. The 02 I'm building that is auto is not for me. Would have to ditch the 2.0L anyone that's drove...

Sure thing I always document my rebuilds with pics. Here's a few
