2.3 liter

This was already like this when I bought my truck, its a 90 with the 2.3 motor. My truck didn't have ac when I bought it so idk if this has anything to do with it or if there's supposed to be a hose or a pipe connected there or what. One person told me I didn't need whatever went there since my...

Hi folks, joined to post this. I've got a 1995 2.3L 5 speed Ranger that I'm thinking of swapping in a 2.3T from an '88 TurboCoupe. I've spend my day reading about this swap, and the hurdles I'd have to jump over to make it happen in a 95 Ranger. I have the full harness and computer for the...

My buddy and I rebuilt the motor and reconnected everything but one connector that we can't find were it goes both of us looked for it for hours. The truck has fuel but doesn't have spark. Does anyone know we're a connector that has a black wire with a pink stripe and also has a purple wire with...

I have looked at my local cregslist page and on the Internet for a 2.3 liter engine but all I can find are either performance parts or full cars that will cost me way to much just to pull the engine out of and part out the rest. Does anyone know of a website that sells them? Also I know being...

Hi there Ranger Station! Long time reader, first time writer. I recently finished rebuilding my 1990 2.3L 4cy engine for my ranger. I had a clogged oil pickup tube screen that just ruined a perfectly good, running engine. I took the block to a machine shop, had it bored, honed, and boiled...

so I got this 94 ranger 2.3l that sputters while accelerating (or taking off, makes it kind of daunting to pull out into traffic) it's throwing this code 543 for secondary fuel circuit fault. I've just replaced the fuel pump and it's still running the same. Could it just be a bad ground by the...

My daily driver has an intermittent problem that is seemingly ignition or timing related. I can start it up and drive it around just fine most days but sometimes it acts like it jumped time then for no reason starts running right again sometimes within a minute sometimes not for hours. It...

Hey guys, I need some help. Engine runs great for about 15 miles. At highway speeds engine cuts off just like someone flipped a switch. After being towed home 3 separate times, I'm starting to think it may be the DIS module overheating. After fiddling with wires, connectors and disconnecting...

All, I'm trying to retro-fit my 94 Ranger 2.3L, Manual Trans, Standard Steering with A/C. I have followed the A/C 101 article in the tech Library and read most all posts in the forum of heating and A/c but, I can not find info on weather or not there is a different bracket for an 2.3L with...

i've got a '90 ranger with a 2.3L (stock motor) w/ the dual plug head. after shaking my truck on a back road like a bad parent giving their kid shaken baby syndrome, my oil pressure gauge is now possesed by a skizophrenic demon. the needle goes from between the r and m on normal to "there is...

I have a huge problem, i just put a new engine in my 93' ranger and it will not start. I have checked all the wiring and everything tons of times. I am getting spark but no fuel. The injector rail has fuel in it and enough pressure but the injectors are not firing. I checked the voltage on the...

I have a manual '94 Ranger 2.3 liter 2x4 that was given to me by a guy at church. The transmission was low on gear oil, and the gears were beginning to whine. I knew that I needed to top up on the lube, but I didn't. Shame on me. The transmission got really hot one day, and the clutch...
