Hi all. First post. I mostly just read and search. I have been searching for about a month trying to figure out this MPG problem. Previous owner said he was getting a consistent 20 mpg out of current sent on old engine. Original engine blew a head gasket and i found an engine from a 92 with 84k miles for $350. Cheaper than i can do a head gasket right.
Engine runs good. It does have a slight miss at idle and maintaining highway speeds takes a little more pedal than i think it should. Currently getting 14mpg. Here is all the information.
93 Ranger 2wd Auto Stock 3.08 gears.
4" suspension lift
33x12.50 15" tires
Engine from 92 with all the 93 components swapped.
Kept EGR, working properly
Swapped ALL sensors. (tried both sets)
New maf
CAS is timed correct (CA truck)
New spark plugs Autolite iridium (getting ready to swap to copper plugs instead)
New Wires
Swapped coil packs
Injectors are from the 92 engine (going to swap those this weekend)
New Radiator and heater core (just thought i would let you know)
Converter has been hollowed out (thought it was a plugged cat)
New O2 Sensors
New FPR
EGR valve works like it should.
*Updated*
New Thermostat
Now I cant believe the tires and lift are draging me down so much. I have seen a few guys here getting at least 18mpg. I would be happy with just 16.
As I answer questions, I will try to update to first post with that info. As i think of more things I will update.
Thanks.
