I got the same answer from a tec. He still thinks i need to change out the tfi for the 3rd time with a motor craft in steady of these aftermarket ones. Dang it found one for $180 buck. Crazy. I paid 100 bucks for the complete distributor with tfi on it. I'll let every on kno if it works. Oh also...

No have replaced TFI twice along with distributor and the TFI pigtail. Still same exact running problem as described on this post.

Well have thrown every part at her with new rebuild 1988 2.9l and still falling flat on her face at 2000 rpm. Like every is new on this ranger. Taking to another mechanic tomorrow stay tuned.

So how do you adjust volume and pressure? Had all the injectors cleaned and tested at a reputable injectors shop he tested fuel rail and diaphragm. All basically new.

Yes timming spot on fuel pressure correct? Hell only have the two parts left. If that don't work I'm totally stumped. Took to a buddys auto shop he spent 8 hrs on it and stumped him. Hopping last two parts and extra ground straps fix it. I'll let ya know that I come up with.

I double cked all grounds and are all good. Just took for test run and as soon as you give it Gas the rpms start jumping around for a second then smooths out give more gas and dose it again even a little back fire. Timing is at 12 ° could mass air low cause this? I also unhooked blower motor...

Ok have opened bleeder and have had about a 1/4 bottle of dot 3 drain threw keeping reservoir full. And still no clutch? Should I have someone be pumping clutch petal while I'm under truck bleeding? Or have some one hold clutch in kinda like bleeding brakes?? Any suggestions?
