2002 ranger 4.0 stock as far as I know. I just got the truck and been using it around the yard, it slowly developed a misfire. Was only when idling though. She was running pretty low in gas so I figured that's what it was. But it got worse and worse every time I used her. A couple days ago I brought home a 5 gallon can of gas and poured in her and ran her for a bit and still didn't fix it. It's getting worse and worse every time I use it. No codes or cel.
All my engine knowledge is with my 6.0 powerstroke. This 4 litre is a new thing to me so I'm just wondering if there are any common simple things to check for before dumping piles of money in to this. I'm planning on selling it as soon as I get it running so I don't want to get too involved with it.
Plugged in my dashboss from my powerstroke to check for soft codes and check common pic's but of course that's when the starter went out. So I have a new starter picked up, just haven't got around to the install yet.
I've read a few posts about the egr failing and causing a miss. Is there a way to check it, like simply unplug it and listen for a difference?
