Just found this great site and wanted to chime in. I've owned 3 rangers over the past years and I do like them. I had an 88 2w, 2001 4x4 flareside, and now I just bought a 92 4x4 automatic it has the 2.9 v6 . It does have issues and hopefully I can find help on here to guide me through getting it up and going.
I just bought this ranger and don't know anything about it. For no more than I have in it, if necessary, I can part it out and get my money back.
It starts ok, but hard to get to idle. Then when I put it in gear (reverse or forward) it jerks might be because I have to hold the gas down a bit to keep it from dying. Then I ease off the gas to put in in forward and it most times dies. I restart easily enough and kinda hold the gas down as I shift into drive. When it shifts from 1st into 2nd it jerks again...but doesn't when the other gears shift.
I plan on changing spark plugs, but from there I'm at a loss of where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.
