    Got a new car so the ranger sits now for a few days or a week. Trying to start requires turning the key off and try again oh 8 to 10 times, finally starts and feels like only 2 or 3 cylinders are firing.

    To turbo or not

    Considering what to do for more power /torque. Was thinking 4.0,but obd1 versions are not that common to find as a good used engine or are sky high priced. Other possible idea to bolt on plumbing from a turboed 2.3 like the from the SC t-bird. I know that it can be done, but not sure about my...
