Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue before. My 2.3l ranger (manual) (fuel-injected) runs pretty good around town at low speeds doing easy driving. However, when I drive it out on the highway, especially going up hill in a higher gear, when the engine is under the most load, the engine will sometimes violently buck and shake my whole drivetrain making a loud grinding sound in my transmission and such. The spark plugs, wires, coil packs, fuel filter, air filter, and fuel pump are new. The injectors are original. Fuel pressure is good, at least in the driveway. My mass airflow sensor looks spotless and I’ve tested it and the throttle position sensor to verify that they’re indeed working. I’m happy to answer any questions to get a better idea about it.
Also, does the 91 2.3l have a camshaft position sensor in addition to the crankshaft position sensor?
