Morning everyone thanks for adding me. I recently purchased a 1990 Ford Ranger for $400 to start a project. The truck runs really rough misses has no power, so as I started to try to diagnose it and this being my first Ranger I kept looking up for the 2.9 liter V6 and it just didn't look right so I believe after looking around that has a 4.0. As I said before I haven't worked much with Ford Rangers if any at all so I don't know much about the motor sizes by looking at them so this took a second. I'm going to start with making sure the Scott Spark then it's firing in the right correct order I'm reading some of the articles on here about the swap to try to learn about how this was done but any input on what I should be checking out I could be the culprit and this would be greatly appreciated like I said the truck just revs funny and is very powerless I tried to take it on the freeway it struggles to do 45-50 miles per hour. The MAF sensor and air box has a coat hanger holding it. Like I said any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I hope you reading this much on this forum to try to educate myself.....thx you jamie
