Hello, I have a thing I have been noticing on my 95 4 cylinder 5 speed since I got it 4 years ago, it is difficult to describe, and is an intermittent thing, but I’ll do my best. Sometimes in traffic, and usually more on a hot day, it seems to not roll in neutral, and be more resistant to moving...

Hello, I have a 1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L and am working on a little project, I’m installing a rostra cruise control kit on it, the truck does not have cruise control. I’m looking for the best place to mount the servo/module and would like to put it as close to stock position as I can. Does anyone...

Hello, I am in the middle of a timing belt job on my 1995 Ranger 2.3L and am wondering what might be the cause of this. The timing belt broke while driving after 40,000 miles (about 3 years) and at first a chalked it up to a cheap kit (it was a DNJ kit) but once I pulled the timing cover I...

Hello, I have a code P1443 “Evap Emission Ctrl System Ctrl Valve” on my 1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L 4 cylinder. A few years back I replaced the fuel filler neck and gas cap due to a leak, so it’s doubtful my problem is there. Usually this is the purge valve/solenoid and I replaced this part just as a...

Hi, I have a 2004 FX4 and have noticed progressively worse creaking sound from the rear whenever I go over bumps, or take off fast from a stop. Also, when I do the bounce test on either side to check the shocks, the creak is the most pronounced on both sides. I already replaced the front shocks...

Hello, I have a 2004 Ford Ranger FX4 4.0L and think I might have a bad slave cylinder, but I just want some more info from someone who knows more than me. I’ve noticed that my clutch pedal feels very loose, and seems to only give resistance once it is already half way pressed down to the floor...

I am kind of a newbie with cars so be gentle…I have a 1995 4 cylinder ranger and I just did the power steering pump and high pressure hose. I just have a general question: on the side where the high pressure hose goes into the gearbox, there is another metal hose right next to it that looks...

Hello, So I just replaced the cluster in my 1995 Ford Ranger, the new cluster is a 1997. I noticed that when I put in the new cluster certain lights stopped lighting up. This would include the ebrake light, the abs light (that was on with the other cluster), the check engine light, and others...

Hello, I have a 1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L and it is having an intermittent issue, sometimes the A/C only works while the car is moving, and blows hot or significantly warmer air when it is idling. When it’s acting up (only while idling) I can hear the compressor switching on and off, about 2 seconds...

Hello, This might be a silly question but I just want to get some opinions. I’ve been occasionally filling up my 2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L with Unleaded 88 (otherwise known as E15) because it’s a little cheaper and if I’m at a gas station that sells it I figure why not, as it is approved for 2001...

Hello, I have a 1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L and am getting code P0420 “Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1.” I first noticed it last summer especially on really hot days as a pending code and it would intermittently appear on my diagnostic scanner and then go away, but it never triggered...

Hello I just have a general question. I have a 1995 Ranger XLT 4 cylinder 2.3l, and I recently replaced the thermostat due to the old one being stuck open and the engine not heating up very fast or blowing hot air properly with the heat on. I also replaced the coolant temp sensor due to...

Hello, Sorry if this is lengthy but I want to share all the events to not waste anyone’s time on responses. I am by no means a mechanic and am actually pretty new to working on cars, so if I say anything seemingly dumb I’m sorry... I have a 2004 Ranger FX4 manual trans. So my cruise control...
