I just bought an 88 Ranger V6 auto that runs good for the most part but I have 2 issues that I need help with.
First I overheat over 45 50 mph. Below that I'm okay but over that it goes up quickly. The radiator is new, the thermostat opens and there seems to be strong flow when it opens. The heater core is not attached, previous owner bypassed it, fan Shroud in place.. Any suggestions?
Next the truck fires right up, but as soon as high idle goes off truck runs rough till motor warms up.
Any help would be great thanks
Angela
