Hello,
I am working out the bugs in a rebuilt 2.9L with approximately 7kmi on it but it sat for a number of years as did the 87 Ranger (4x4, 5 sp) that it now resides in.
After starting and getting up to temp it is running rough, popping and I suspect not firing completely. About the time the Tstat opens the second time it will stall and then when I attempt to restart, it will only click/click/click.
I am getting ready to put in a spare TFI Ignition Module when I notice that one of my spare distributors has the Octane Rod. This makes me wonder if I was supposed to be using the Octane Rod version verses the non octane rod version?
