So ive read through multiple forums and done some research and haven’t been able to figure out whats going on. I have a 2002 ranger edge 3.0. The truck is idle on average 750 bug dips to high 500s and mid 800s as ive seen from when i plugged in my scanner. The idle just kind of tumbles when its sitting and shakes the whole truck sometimes. Every once in a while it feels like it could stall. Also im not sure if it’s because the 3.0 is not all that powerful but it doesn’t go up hills very well. I do know a good bit on how to work on vehicles but still have much to learn and diagnosing issues is not my strong suit. So far i have cleaned maf sensor, checked for vaccum leakes with carb cleaner, replaced a sensor on the intake manifold(cant remember what it was called) and have just looked around trying to see if anything is off but i cant really find anything wrong. There is one tube that’s coming off of the intake manifold after right after the throttle body that i think is the evap hose? Thats what i got from research but its very crusty and the outer is coming off not sure if that coucontribute to the problem. Any advice would be great im not sure where to go from here.
