1990 Ford Ranger Help

[90FordRanger]

Trying to figure out what engine is used in the 1990 Ford Ranger.

 

[BlackBII]

It could be a few different ones in 1990

2.3 inline 4
2.9 V6
4.0 V6

Welcome to TRS


You can also look at the VIN number

Ranger VIN decoder here: http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/VIN_Codes.shtml

8th digit is the Stock Engine size
A = 2.3l Lima 4 cylinder
T = 2.9l V6
X = 4.0l V6

You could have had a diesel, two models offered, back a few years more. One a slug, the other a snail, but a turbo snail. I exaggerate.
The inline 4 cylinder could also be a 2.0 as there is/was one offered in the middle 1980's as a 'fuel economy' thing. I think it was equipped with a carburetor rather than EFI.

No diesels offered after 88.

Mumble. I just got carried away thinking the question was what engines were available altogether. Never mind. The 2.0 was also limited in availability, not 1990 either as far as I know.
