Whats up,
Just changed the spark plugs and wires on my 1996 ford ranger 2.3, as soon as i started it up she ran real rough and wanted to die. She will run and drive great with some throttle. Almost positive its a vacuum leak with the hissing sound but i don't know where.

Any tips? thanks

Big vacuum hose under the throttle body. I always forget that one.

Thanks guy! I dont know if it was the one youre talking about but a hose that ran to the purge valve wasnt plugged in

Yeah that's it. On my 2000 it connects right under the throttle body to a metal pipe and then on the other side of the pipe it connects to the purge valve.
