Surging Idle

[samsonitesamsonite]

put on my spare FPR that I know is good, and still the problem is there, it bogs down real bad when driving, has no power, but every once in a while, its normal, then right back to driving bad.

anyone? I want this to drive decently until i can rewire the pig

What is your fuel pressure? have you put a guage on it to see if te pump is putin out the corrct pressure even while driving.

ill check pressure tomorrow, i was also reading up and saw that some guys had had a problem with a bad gasket under the fuel rail.

Did you ever get this problem figured out?

 

[samsonitesamsonite]

not yet, im picking up a parts sploder to rewire the pig and that should take care of it, there are too many gremlins to **** with anymore.

 

[steiner_5000]

Well if you could keep posting your finds. I really cant figure this out either.

In Samsonite's case I'd say that a non connected HEGO for one cylinder bank or the other would create some "issues"

That plus the fact that a '96 is supposed to have a cat monitor I can safely say his computer is "annoyed" with him.

Hey if you want a dual HEGO Y-pipe....

naw, im just going to rewire it. But I have a major problem. there was a large exhaust leak, the EGR tube wasn't tightened into the manifold..... but its all going to get rewired, although I found an ex that I really like so now its between requiring and re-axle"ing" the ranger, or just putting my lift tires and other stuff in the ex....

alright, still looking for a parts truck. but in the meantime I found the main cause of the problem. The spark plug for #3 was gapped poorley and the ceramic was almost gone. Replaced the plug, and it runs great. Still have the surging idle, but I can live with that until it gets rewired.
