Hello looking for some help. My truck is a 95 ranger 2.3 and it has the apparently legendary double rev. It’s so common that it’s known by some mechanics I’ve talked to as a common characteristic of that engine. Now being a man of logic and being how my automatic truck has stalled in the middle of intersections multiple time lol i know that something isn’t right. I did my research and learned that the rough idle, stalling, and double rev is caused by a design flaw which causes the engine to break its intake manifold gasket quite often. The gaskets are already on there way but I don’t feel I know enough about to work on it yet. Forums parts and general info seems to be hard to find on my truck. I was wondering if it’s true that this a common issue with this engine and which gasket is it. The upper or lower manifold?
