CEL on my 94 Ranger is on - I ran codes and got 224. The book that came with the scanner for this code says" Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) Problem-Primary circuit failure in coil 1,2,3,or 4. My Haynes manual says "SPOUT circuit open". Since SPOUT stands for SPark OUTput, that could be...

I posted this also on the 2.3 engine forum and then found that there was a separate forum for the suspension so here it is again. Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with the rear spring mount (front mount) rusting out. I realize that nothing last forever but I'm one of those folks that...

Anybody had a problem with the front leaf spring mount on the rear leaf spring rusting out and breaking? Mine just did. Fortunately I found replacements at the local Advance Auto - at least online -. I'll give them a call tomorrow and make sure they can actually still get them. Just wondering...

Just read an old Service Bulletin where Ford changed the engine oil recommendation to 5W-20. Reason for improved economy. Anybody running this? I'm running Valvoline 10W-40 still. Mine's a 94 with 187K miles now. It had 42K when I bought it and started running the Valvoline 10W-40.

When I turn the A/C on, the idle does not increase to compensate for the extra pull on the engine. Is there a sensor/compensator that controls this? If so where is it? I have a 94 xlt 2.3.:icon_confused: Thanks, Danny

About how much would I gain by converting from the regular mechanical fan to and electric fan on my '94 2.3?:icon_confused:

Are the cats that are advertised as hi-flo that much better than standard? I'm thinking in terms of the stock cat on my '94 2.3. I actually thought about posting this in the "4-banger" forum but thought it might fit better here. If they are better, which one or ones give the greatest...

Got the infamous 332 code (again) as I do about every year or so and it truns out to be the DPFE sensor. Fortunately an easy swap on my 94 2.3, but does anybody know of anyone that makes a senosor that will last longer or is there anything that I can do? I've gotten these from Advance and Auto...

My '94 2.3 runs great, just dropped in MPG from 27 to 23 (at best). I have had a suggestion of possibly leaky injectors. What should I notice?

A few weeks ago there was a post where someone had removed the muffler and was running only the cat. I'm wondering how much difference there was in the exhaust sound. Right now I'm running a Flowmaster with the cat and the exit pipe on the Flowmaster is leaking for the second time so I'm...

Anybody had any experience with performance chips on the (94) 2.3? I have read conflicting info. Some said no difference and others said more HP, torque and MPG. I wonder if the increases were "in fact" or a "hopeful perception". Any info appreciated. Danny

Some time back I read I believe on this site how to do the volatge adjustment on the TPS. I remeber that ideally you want it to be a close to 1 volt as possible without going over but I don't remember which two of the three wires you read the voltage from. Any help appreciated. Danny
