2.9

Whats up guys, new to the forum here. Ive got a 1989 Ranger 2WD with the 2.9 auto in it and realized that after noticing some smoke and some investigation that doing another 2.9 is a waste of time. So after aquiring a 1990 Ranger 2WD 2.3 with a stickshift, I noticed the 89 is in overall better...

The problem I'm having is that my truck will stall when it's warm out and the truck's been running for a while. Stop and go traffic is particularly likely to cause it to stall. Feels like it's out of gas, sputtering, no power, bucking and dying, but it definately has gas . Usually after 15...

First time posting something. Awesome site by the way. my 2.9 stalls in the morning. I start it and it dies 10-20 seconds after, doing this 2 or 3 times and it idles fine afterwards. I can smell gas like its being flooded or something. I suspect it has to be a map sensor or air temperature...

Hello all, About a month ago, I was given a 88 ranger. It has a 2.9 v6. I had to take out the old 5 speed because it was busted and put in a new one off an explorer and has been working super. My question is, the truck is leaking oil horribly. Every time I drive, there is a circle 6 inches to a...

yesterday i washed the engine down with some cleaner and sprayed it off with the hose....(with hopes of getting rid of all the crap stuck to it.) for the most part it did.... but now my engine wont start, i also changed plug and wires... and now i'm out of ideas..... has this happened to anyone...

yesterday i bought a 86 ranger that needs a new motor(2.9).... my question is, is there a better engine, that is more powerful.... but at the same time still fuel efficient? also is the 2.9 a good towing engine? what is the grand toltal of a engine/tranny swap?

Here goes, I have a 1986 Ranger and I'm having trouble with sputtering and stalling at idle and sometimes throughout rpm range. It has new vehicle speed sensor, fuel pumps, sending unit, o2 sensor, plugs, plug wires, coil, distributor, tfi module, tps, fuel pump relay. I have a fuel pressure...

I have a 86 with a 2.9 a4ld 4x4. It has a 89 computer on it to delete the egr. But I need help with the three codes it threw. Codes 95, 14, and 29. I know they are for the vss, fuel pump circuit, and erratic pip signal. Any help or advice on figuring these codes out would be greatly appreciated...

I have a 1986 Ranger with a 2.9 and a couple of times this week it has died whil driving, no particular rpm or speed. But it will start right back up. Also cuts out like ignition was turned off but picks right back up again as if nothing happened. It has a new ignition controle module, spark...

I know there are posts about this already but they seem to break down into Swap in a 4L and never amount to any serious Ideas about actually doing it. They are doing it in Europe a lot however but a $2500 3.5 Kit is too much. Since I already have new world heads, and headers and it is more or...

Just bought an '86 Bronco II 2.9, automatic. It starts but runs really weak. Lots of leakage at valve covers and the one spark plug I pulled was jet black with powdery carbon deposits. There does not appear to be any evidence of water in the oil, but it is over the fill line and smells like...
