miss

SO, I'll give all the details. You decide what is relevant. My guess is a bad cam lobes and/or lifters. 1986 Ford Ranger 2.9 xlt auto 2wd. The motor was rebuilt by a very reliable guy we know. It was a family member's truck, then i got it years later. It sat in this truck for 5 years without...

I've got a 93 ranger 5 speed 4x4. Last fall, I cracked the block on the old engine so I replaced it with a 2001 3.0 from a wrecked truck with 60,000 miles. I converted the new engine back to OBD1 since the truck is wired for a distributor. Engine fired right up on first try and I've been driving...

I had a 96 4x4 5 speed with a 3.0 in it that started burning oil pretty bad so I decided instead of replacing the 3.0 I would just buy a donor truck with a 4.0 and put that in. so I found a 97 explorer 5 speed 4.0 with 130,000 miles that was wrecked. I pulled the 4.0 and threw it on the engine...

Hi everybody, I've been working on a 1996 Ranger 2.3 5 spd reg cab truck that I bought for my son about 3 weeks ago and I'm having trouble getting it to run right. It has a rough idle, not too bad cold but it gets really bad after it warms up and idles down- lower rpms=worse miss. I think I...

I want to start by saying thanks for any help, I'm on powerstroke.org and I am assuming yoi guys are just as helpful. I have a 93 2.3L manual and I'm having an issue. When accelerating, my truck misses to the point where i look like a 10 year old trying to drive a manual for the first time. It...

First off, I have noticed that when I fire it after cool down (such as the next day ), it will run slightly rough until I supply fuel, then allow the engine to regulate idle. I'm pretty sure this roughness is tied to my stalling/dying problem. Anyway, on to the main issue..CEL will come on...

1994 4.0 ranger. Its got a light miss at an idle that gets harder with increased speed and it seems to lag just a little in acceleration. I've replaced plugs, wires, fuel filter and pump. It has spark and is getting gas. The only odd thing is that the drivers side plugs seem to foul while the...

Here's my problem. I've got a 90 ranger with a 2.9. For some reason after driving it a ways it will miss or just fall on its face and will do it more frequently the farther I drive it. It misses a little at idle too. My check engine codes are 22,23, and 67. Which are MAP out of self test range...
