2.3l manual

Just took my 88 ranger xlt 2.3L 5 speed to a quick lube place for and oil change, I tried to do it myself but was having a hard time getting the filter off and said screw it. I noticed the oil filter they put on is smaller than the one they took off, is that ok? Obviously it fits but is it going...

Hello from Arizona. I've had several Rangers over the years and recently picked up my newest Ranger. It is a 1990 stripped out 2.3 l 5-speed with over 300,000 miles. I use it as my daily driver.

Good evening. I would greatly appreciate a little insight into the swap that I am planning on. I currently have a 2000 Extended Cab 3.0L 4speed auto 2WD with a bad motor but a good body and interior. I also have a 1995 Extended Cab 2.3L 5speed manual 2wd with a good drive train but rough body...

I replaced the tiiming belt on my 1987 2.3L due to the truck running poorly (black smoke, no power, backfires). Now, the truck will not start and it cranks very uneven. I have a video showcasing my timing marks as well as the engine cranking. I dont remember if I showed in the video but I made...

Hey there, I recently bought a 1992 Ford Ranger 2WD, 2.3 4cyl, standard five speed. After driving it for about a month I noticed a lack of power and brought it to my mechanic. Long story short, he told me that I was out a cylinder and would have to do a rebuild in order to get it into good...

As said in the title, I have a 1992 2.3L 8 spark plug ranger Truck ran fine for a while until one day it was hard to start, then when it finally started it was loping as if it was missing hitting the gas would make it spit and sputter and pop and when you let off the gas the rpms would drop to...

So i've been chasing an eletrical problem for a couple months, and i've about lost it. to preface, I have an 89 Ranger, 2.3 manual DIS. Somewhere around 260,000 miles, original engine and transmission. Starting around three months ago, my tach quit working. Not a big deal, i've driven the...

Ok, so I bought an 86 Ranger back in February. There were a few "minor" issues disclosed, but it ran great so I overlooked them. Oil leak, vibration at high speeds, power steering pump bad, brake booster hisses, etc. $1400 wasn't too bad for it. Body was/is in excellent shape. Tires brand new...

"Manual Transmition Lubricant Does Not Normally Need Changed"-Chilton Ranger '91-'99 Year: 1997 Engine: 2.3L manual Transmission: R-1 2wd I have read throughout this forum and many others that the transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 miles or so. In the Chilton's however it...

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...

Had a problem when a cable from the main battery harness that extends under engine to a red two pin connector with wire off side (ground) was ripped off the side of engine. It looked fraid from manifold heat anyways, so I repaired that. It still did not crank. Doing alot of clicking. Batt good...
