No, not my Ranger, my little Gas-sipping '98 Escort-SE
what did it finally do after 215,000 miles (on the original engine & trans)?
No, I didn't die, it still runs and drives... but it stopped "sipping" gas.
Folding my 6'4" body into that tiny ass little cracker box was tolerable because It usually got high 30's sometimes low 40's
But suddenly like flipping a switch it's getting 17mph, it's probably just the HEGO, possibly the MAM, but it's frigging cold outside and I just don't want to deal with it....
Anyway I replaced it with a '97 Taurus... 3.0 Duratec...SHO? we don't need no stinkin SHO...
Now If I could only coax those damned power adjustable seats into a tolerably comfortable position... but it is more comfortable than that damned escort.
