spark

Hey guys, I’m having an interesting problem with the old bronco II and ide like to see what you all think. About 8 months or so back I was parked getting gas, when I went to start the truck it just cranked away but didn’t start. So I got it towed and really didn’t mess with it much for a few...

Hi, I’ve got a 1988 Ford bronco ii. It’s running like sh*t. I’m not sure exactly where I’m at with it. As in I’m not sure if any of the new parts I’ve put in are marking the problem worse, or if the bad part is getting worse over time. The spark from the coil to the distributor seems ok. The...

Hi guys 123000km 4.0 4x4 automatic At idle, my 4.0 sohc will fluctuate RPMs. idles fine, drops suddenly by a few hundred rpm then bounces right back to normal for a few second (up to 10 seconds between jolts) additionally, at highway speeds, the truck will buck under very specific...

So...87 with a 2.9 liter....it's now my dad's truck. He was driving home one night and it just died....no sputter, just cut out like the key turned off.... We've about flipped the truck just searching for a problem....New ignition coil, cap and rotor, wires.... it needed the tune up...

Starting from the beginning.... 2.9L 6cylinder 59,000 miles on it. Last fall on my way home, she started to sputter then cough. I turned into a driveway to get back home and she stalled when i put it into neutral to backup. She started right back up, driving home she was coughing and sputtering...

Im at a loss trying to diagnose this ignition problem...I need this truck to get to work 20 miles away and it's driving me crazy. This all started when I had to drop the transmission to replace the clutch. I don't know if it matters but the speedometer plug was duct taped to the cable to keep it...

I currently have no spark, although the spark seems to be intermitted. The truck fires when you first turn the key, but dies after a couple of seconds, then will not fire again for hours and has no spark. Occasionally, I am able to keep the truck going by working the throttle. When the engine...

I replaced the head gaskets on a 91' Ranger 2.9 liter v6. I made sure to mark the distributor so it went back in the same way it came out. After I get it all back together, it wont start. I made sure all pigtails are connected etc. I found that I am getting power to the coil but no spark from...

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...

Hi, I'm looking for things to tune up on my 1991 2.3 2wd with 132,000 miles. I bought it in February and fixed it up and now I'm out of things to fix haha. Looking for Preventative maintenance things to do to it. I know I wanna replace the spark plugs and wires and I've heard to use motorcraft...

I know "loss of power" has been answered before, (and believe my I've searched) but I feel my situation is unique. As soon as my 302 swapped Ranger was driveable, it ran great. The slightest tap of the gas pedal would roast the tires (or tire, with the stock 93 open differential haha). About a...

Ok, so I hope it's ok to post this here, I'm having a problem with my 1984 Honda Fourtrax 350, it's very cold-blooded. Lately it's been getting cooler here (today was a high of 15) now usually I don't have to use the wheeler much in winter but we recently mounted a plow on it to create a rink...

So heres the story, about 3 months ago i drove 2 hours away to look at this 87 ranger stx with the 2.9l v6, when i got there the truck fired right up and seemed to run fine except it idled at about 2000-2200rpm. i figured it would be an easy fix and the truck was cheap so i went ahead and bought...

Hi guys. I installed a SOHC motor from a 2001 Ranger into my '96 to replace a 2.3L. The harness and ECU are from a '97 explorer SOHC. I am not getting any spark and I don't smell any unburned fuel. I checked the cam position sensor. It does provide an AC signal when the engine is cranked. It...

Hey everyone. I have a 1996 Ford Ranger. 2.3 engine, your average setup. Its been due for a spark plug replacement for a while. But im not sure if thats the problem. The details. Whenever I take off it kind of sputters. Its like it looses power for a split second. Its only when I take off...

91 Explorer,EDIS, 4.0 distributerless. Was running fine then it dropped the center 2 cyliders at the coil pack, no spark at the coil for those 2 cylinders.Replaced the spark plugs and wires, it ran exactly the same on 4 cylinders. Replaced the coil 3 times no spark on any cylinders after coil...

Hey guys, I have a 1993 4.0 with about 93,000 miles on it. Anyways, it has always had a little missing problem ever since I bought it, however the other day the problem went away completely for almost two days and te truck ran better than ever. All of a sudden, when I was shifting from 1st to...
