I was hoping I had all questions related to this swap behind me, alas, not to be.
1996 Ranger, straight cab longbed. 5.0, tranny and rear from wrecked '99 Mountaineer.
I worked out the bugs and it is needing an oil change, (the 3rd) with 10K from combo hiway and "town" driving. MPG, 14.5-19.2
It has been my daily driver since Dec and this morning went to start and there was a crank, a clunk, and then free cranking.
To compound my issues, I went through a move and cannot find my Haynes Explorer manual, but do have the Ranger one.
I have 12 volt at the coil pacs but when cranking the signal wire does not change. I have been able to find very little information on the internet, need the BOOK!
The tack does not move, unplugging the Cam Position Sensor and replugging does nothing.
Last Sept or so, I purchased a 1996 ECM and was using it to start the truck, it wouldn't shift out of 2nd. I finally found a guy in Florida (I am in Virginia) that removed PATS and like I said, right at 10K today.
About a month ago, I had to do some work at a friends house and sitting in the bushes was a tri-colored (different fenders/doors) Explorer. It is a 1996 5-0 all wheel drive with a slipping trans, burning oil when they parked it with 300K+ on it.
He might give it to me. I am going to see if I can borrow the ECM just to swap to see if mine went bad. With no schematics, I am limited what to test.
Does anyone have a link to some wiring I can use?
