2.3l

I am hoping someone has some experience with this issue and can help. It has been a challenging issue. Several months ago I was having intermittent starting issues. After reading the forums here (and doing various test) I suspected the Ignition Switch. I changed that out and the truck started...

Hey you good folks! Finally got my Ranger put back together and fluids in. Cranks but no spark and no start. It is an 88 block in an 89 body/bay. We switched over the crankshaft position sensor from the ‘89 and added it to the ‘88 block, we’re not using the 88’s distributor. The sensor’s...

Truck will stall immediately after starting. Unless I unplug MAF. Then it will run solid for a minute or two…until idle goes rough and then stalls out. Looking for advice. — Current Knowns: *KOEO Code Pass from Ford OBD1 scanner. *Engine smells like burnt rubber when trying to start, not like...

My 1989 ford ranger with a 2.3l jumped timing and blew a coolent hose recently. The coolent damaged a ton of electrical components such as spark plugs and coils. I replaced all 8 spark plugs, plug wires coils, and retimed the engine but now my valve are making a ton of noise. No biggie I though...

So, I have a 96 Ranger for a parts truck for my 92. Im curious if the intake on the 96 2.3, will flow better than the intake on the 92 2.3? Can the EGR be deleted without swapping the whole harness and ECU? I got lucky on the exhaust side, PO put in a shorty header and deleted cats on the 96 :)...

Hey there, I got a 1983 Ford Ranger 4x4 2.3L with a Carter One Barrel. I wanted to check timing/mixture/idle with a vacuum gauge. Where do I plug it in at? FYI, I'm new to tuning carburetors.

Hello, I've searched and can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere. I have a '01 Ranger that the engine is trashed. It's what happens when you run it without oil (teenager). I am looking to swap the engine for another 2.3L but I am having trouble finding one. Everything I find...

I have a 1996 Ford Ranger (Reg Cab, 2.3L, 5spd, 3.45 rear axle) unk mileage. It originally had the stock 195/70R14 tires on it and could go 80+ pretty easily (never went over 80 due to poor suspension and suspect tires). I needed to replace the tires and had some 15" rims decided to upgrade and...

I have a 1994 first ranger 2.3L. I replaced the timing belt (and tensioner) after it snapped and left me stranded on the side of the road. After I got it towed home, I replaced the timing belt and now it makes a weird clicking noise. It fires right up when I started it.. The timing belt cover...

Hello everyone, I have a "too lean" code on my 2009 2.3L Ranger. I am sure it has been covered many times before, but I figured I would post because everyone's situation is a little bit different. When it first came on it was on for a few weeks, then went away for a couple of days. Then it came...

Last week, one morning I had no pressure in my clutch pedal. From my experience I immediately thought this meant a bad slave cylinder. Checked clutch master reservoir level and the fluid was low. I bled the system to see if i could build pressure in the pedal. The first time I opened the...
