intake

Hi I've read through the forum and couldn't find what I'm looking for. I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4 4.0L and it started running very rough. My local shop replaced the plugs, plug wires, and ignition coils and it would fine for a while. I tested it beforehand with my OBD2 reader and it definitely...

So I drive a 2000 Ranger 4.0L V6 4x4 with just over 180k on it. Y'all know how many great things there are about the 4.0, but gas mileage is definitely not one of them! I'm averaging I'd say around 14.7-15 MPG, and the highest I've gotten is around 16.5. This is a bit problematic, since I drive...

A while ago, my stock air box fell apart on me, and I've been using that K&N filter that fits right on to the throttle body as a temp until I can find a better solution. Unfortunately, any stock units are either smashed to pieces, or just plain missing on the trucks at my local junkyard. And I...

I have a '86 Ranger running a '87 V6 and want to check the EGR system. I've heard most cars can detect if the EGR is inactive/not connected and can correct timing, fuel, etc... accordingly. Although I'm not sure if my '86 computer can do that or not. I'd like to be able to disconnect the EGR to...

I have a 99' Ranger XLT 4.0 Bought it off a buddy and got some codes read. I'm getting P0171 and 0174 - bank 1 and 2 too lean. not sure what that means. google tells me a million different things. I bought all new intake manifold gaskets but have no clue how to go about changing all of that...

Ok...so, I have troubleshooted so much the past few weeks regarding a P171 & P174 code. I am wanting to make sure I have covered all bases before I pull the intake. Here is a brief rundown: 1999 4.0 V6 OHV 4x4 1) Valve Cover Gaskets (and ECT sensor) replaced a few months ago 2) Not sure if...

I have a 96' 4.0 Ranger that a buddy gave to me as it was getting codes and wouldn't pass inspection. I have no experience with Rangers. The dealership quoted 1400 to fix. They had diagnosed a leaking intake manifold gasket. I removed the upper gasket, and saw that the gasket was indeed bad...

Doing head gaskets on my 94 Ranger 3.0 and I have to remove the intake to get them off, in order to remove the intake i have to disconnect the fuel lines, now I know it takes a special disconnect tool (which i have) and I've used them before to do a fuel tank, however on these lines it doesn't...

Just got H.O. 5.0 from the junkyard. Swapping the efi for my carb setup. When I pulled the stock intake off I noticed some carbon buildup, it looked like charcoal bricks stuck the the interior walls? Was wondering what this is? And what's the best way to clean it out? Also. What's the best way...

Hello, I drive a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 v6, manual with 236k miles. replaced the head gasket, timing chain, and cracked timing chain cover and spark plugs 2 months ago(about 5k miles ago) Aside from my slave cylinder and clutch beginning to go bad I haven't had any problems since, until my...

Does anyone know what has to be done to swap an an 03 motor into a 95? Do I have to strip everything down to the block or are some things compatible— i.e. intake, valve covers, oil pan, accessories? My motor just froze and I need to get back on the road asap! Please Help!

Hello all, The title says it all. Over the course of the past month or so, my Ranger has slowly turned itself into a giant paper weight. It started with a high/rough idle. It would start up very high on startup (cold only), and quickly drop to a more normal rpm. I don't have a tach, so...

I have had my ranger (89) for a couple of months now. I have replaced the front brake hubs,brake pads, wheel bearings,u-joints,carrier bearing and had the drive shaft balanced...it was bent/warped. I bought this truck for 1300 bucks and after putting about 500 into it I have to say its been...

Before I start...1997 ranger 2.3l with 175k. Ok while working on my slave cylinder I decided to show off my new k&n intake to my buddy. I pulled it off the tube apart and a bit of oil spilled out of it. I just changed the pcv about 2 weeks before I got the new intake too. I have no idea what...

Ok so we had flash flooding in missouri today and well there was water going across the road so i went through it. She stalled out and died, so sitting there in 2 feet of water i got out and popped the hood and had my wife try to start it it just clicked and smoked from the positive term. So at...

Alright, this morning i went out to my uncles shop with my new intake kit. A K&N 77 series. ( http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/61A1913A0A0.aspx ). I waited to go to the shop to do it because his co-owner has a chassis dyno and i wanted to see what the kit did for the truck. We get it on...
