  1. Cold start-up problem solved

    1991 2.3, 100k miles The suspected IAC was removed and cleaned and yet the problem persisted. A VOM was then used to test both the power and signal voltage to the unit with the findings that both readings were within specs and so I proceeded on the asumption that the problem existed within...

  4. Stalls initially after start at temp below 30F. cold

    1991 2,3, manual at 94k No codes set on this problem. Engine starts readily but will stall during the first minute of use. It then restarts only with pedal in the wide -open -throttle position ---- holding pedal in this position prevents further fuel injection. My guess is a dirty idle air...

  10. Question about removing/sliding bed on 1991

    I would like to slide back the bed to replace fuel filler neck and pump. It seems that the bumper needs to removed to accomplish any sliding. Can I assume that the bed has to be lifted to clear the bumper if the bumper is to be left on? If then the bumper is to remain in place, must it be lifted...

    My nomination for the worst For Ford Ranger group is: The yahoogroups Ford-Ranger. This group is run by about a half dozen control freak "moderators" who don't allow messages to appear for about 2-days after they are sent. Each message sent for their approval is apparently scrutinized by a...
  16. Fuel pump service life?

    At what mileage did you replace your fuel pump. Did you do it as a preventative measure to forestall an eventual failure on the road or because the pump actually failed? Also if your pump failed, had you ever previously replaced the external fuel filter? Al
  17. Lifting bed dump-truck style

    I need to gain access to the tank preferably without lowering it from under the vehicle. Now I know that the bed can be removed or even slid back. However, I'd like to know if anyone has removed all but the rear bolts which are simply loosened (the rear bolts being those closest to the...
  18. Hot rotor

    Here's one for you to mull over: Using a non-contact thermometer I discovered that the passenger side roter is running 20F. hotter than the driver's side. Also, the outboard pad on the passenger side was somewhat more worn. All this suggested that the slides and pins on the passenger side needed...
