2.3l

a friend of mine recently rolled and wrote off his 2003 ford ranger 2.3 swb 5spd. don't worry he's fine. we had the truck up on a lift and could find no damage to the frame which got us to thinking, my 1995 ranger swb 2.3 5spd has an immaculate body in a not so common colour with custom...

'93 Ranger has a rough idle whether it's warmed up for cold start. It will shudder down to what sounds like 600rpm then it will kick back up and it will keep going back to the shaking and shuddering. I could change the plugs, wires, injector. What's wrong with it?

I have a 1996 ford ranger with a 2.3L 4cyl with a manual transmission I plan on doing a 302 engine swap. I want to sell the engine and trans an was woundering what its worth. It was 200K miles on it but runs awesome! Routine mantian has always been done and also just had a recent tune up.

I have a 1986 4x4 2.3l 5 speed manual Ranger. i bought on Craigslist back in August (best purchase i have ever made). It was running fine until about two month ago, the alternator died. I replaced it, got a new battery. Then the ignition wouldn't work, so we rigged a switch to jump it at the...

i tried to clean the engine with Gunk the other day and then washed it out with a normal house water hose. it was giving me a little trouble from there (running rough) and then just got worse. i ran it about 30-60 miles in hopes that i can burn the water that may have gotten in bad places out...

Cylinder 1.......................... 135 Cylinder 2.......................... 135 Cylinder 3.......................... 80 (115 after some oil in the cylinder) Cylinder 3.......................... 140 This was done with the engine completely cold. I've also noticed a significant amount of air...

Hey, this is my first post so I'm kinda new to this site lol but I'm taking my 88 2.0l and replacing it with a decked out 2.3. Does anybody have an idea as to what the specs of the engine would be for around 1000dollars in upgrades? I was hoping to include a turbo not include in the $1000.

Hi all, I'm helping a friend with his 1990 2wd Ranger with the 2.3L fuel injected engine. I checked the Transmission code on the door tag, its the M code, Mazda M50D-R1 from what I can tell on this site. The truck is in decent shape, only has 95K miles, but the transmission is fairly shot...

Heres's the story... When I was driving at 60mph, all of my coolant leaked out and the engine started heating very fast and it turned off by itself:bawling:. I found out that one of the heater hoses went loose because of a broken "device" wich my teacher told me it was used to warm the coolant...

I've unexpectly had not one but two sets of 7.5 gears fall into my lap and now I'm not sure which set to run. I get to choose from 3.73 or 4.10's. Truck details are in the sig. It currently runs 3.54 gears and stock 205/75r14 (26x8) tires. Since moving to the city I don't plan to change tire...

So I've known for awhile that I needed a trans mount and that at least the passenger side engine mount needed it too. Yesterday I finally got off my butt and got it done. I hate wearing gloves (they fill with sweat) and I wasn't really interested in washing my hands every step of the way so I...

After cleaning the MAF, IAC, installing a new air filter, fuel filter, installing a few new vacuum hoses I still had a rough idle. I even got some seafoam and ran in through the brake booster hose and in the fuel tank but still had that erratic idle. I planned on doing new plugs and wires but...

So a few weeks now my truck has randomly given a rough idle when I am stopped and in neutral. I attributed it to a gas station that I had been getting gas at for the last few weeks. I removed and cleaned the MAF & IAC. I installed a new air filter & fuel filter, but the problem persisted. I did...
