Hello,
I am new to the site and i just bought a 2000 Ford Ranger with the 3.0l vulcan. I couldn't pass this up with only 92,000 miles and for only $300 it starts and runs and the a/c works . Now here's the bad news while driving it home it had a hard time getting up to 55mph and was making a popping sound. The next day I checked the air cleaner wich was horrible, so I replaced it and cleaned the maf. Still not running better so I checked the plugs (there was a crazy mismatch of iridium and copper tops ) so I replaced all with new champion copper tops. The truck is still not running better and has no codes on my tester and cell is not on. This is a post asking for HELP I do not know a lot about this truck and any advice is greatly appreciated.
