Hi All -
I just picked up a new(er) '99 ranger with the 2.5 - 115k miles or so. When I drove it home it would rev pretty high (no tach so no hard numbers) when I was shifting or sitting at a light. It would go up, then slowly drop down, then idle so low I thought it would die if I didn't goose the throttle a bit.
I checked the throttle cable / throttle plate, and it moves freely, so I'm guessing it's either a sensor or a vacuum leak.
What sensors are most likely the problem? Are the cheap enough that I can just change them out, or should I take it to the mechanic?
Any other advice?
Thanks!
