hi everyone! first actual post on here so bare with me... 2000 ranger 3.0, 2wd manual trans
recently learned that 99 and 2000 3.0 rangers take flex fuel, have the V in my vin too, so decided to go for it and fill up with e85 since theres a station right by my house. seems to be running a bit wonky, at first ran fine no issues but a few miles into freeway driving the rpms started dropping and now truck is wanting to stall out. i probably should have eased into it by slowly adding e85 in but i didnt get that far into the thread until after i put in a full ass load of e85 in (of course). anyone have any similar issues? should i send my ass over to a gas station and add more 87 in? read forums where people have had great results and some that didnt. anything helps! i have another car i can drive in the meantime while i trouble shoot, but this is my daily driver so i need to figure something out! already had too lean engine code beforehand caused by an o2 sensor. thanks!
