It gets air, spark, compression but wo,t turnover. I was told that the ignition control modual could be dead. Does anyone have a picture of one where it is located in the engine bay?

I just looked through a couple threads on the subject but I have a few questions. I have the i6 200 with an auto c4. Will it hook up to the rear end I currently have? I currently have a 2.3 4x4, manual ranger. The c4 is 2x4. What about engine mounts? What elaw should I look out for? Should it...

I have a guy interested in my ranger but only with it running. He isn't in any hurry though but still I want it gone. So the engine feels like it wants to crank over but just doesn't start. Checked both fuel pumps and they come on, we have spark and over more than once tried to put everything in...

how do i go about timing the 2.3? Putting the timing belt and camshaft in the right position? The crankshaft in the right position and the distributor? ive gone through the ford manual for '88 rangers and i dont know the right process on how to go about this. Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

The truck started on 2nd crank a couple of days ago, now i cant get it to start up. It cranks but it wont start now. Ive been fidgeting with the distributor a tiny bit trying to move it to where it might get the truck to start, but it still wont start. Any ideas? it might be flooded but, i dont...

I have the rear bumper off my ranger and its the 2nd to last thing i need to put on before i take it to emissions. Ive seen some pictures of 1st gen rangers without the bumper on and has been replaced with sheet metal or something. If anyone knows what im talking about, is this custom fabbed? Im...

I put a new cam in my 2.3 and the OEM specs for timing the engine are to be at 10 degrees. Since i put the new cam in (a little bigger than the stock cam) how should i go about timing the engine? My dad had it at 12 degrees and it sounded pretty good with some skips, then i put it at 10 degrees...

Does anyone know a good power steering pump remover for the 2.3? I bought a set that has the remover and installer but sadly none of the tools that came in it worked on the 2.3 power steering pump pulley to remover it:annoyed:...

Finally started up my ranger the other day (new engine) and i guess the power steering pump decided to quit on me. Must have sat to long or something. Anyways, is their any other way to remove and install the power steering pump without those special power steering pump tools?

Since i dont really want to fork out any money; i do have a blast cabinet. Could i soda blast my cylinder heads? will they be fine afterwords? The engine doesnt need to be rebuilt and im going to port and polish the heads myself; i just want to avoid a machine specialist for now. Call me cheap...

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Please move this to the correct forum if its in the wrong one! Does anyone know anything about putting a dodge 318 in a Scout II? i know that the scout II has the 727 transmission but it cant hook up to a dodge engine. What would have to be done in order to...

quick question. In the parts section (top right corner of page, right below the search bar) i was looking at the bushwacker fender flares. The "extend-a-fender" fender flares says its $315. Is that for all four of them or is it separate for the front and back?

So i painted my ranger today (pictures will be up when its all done...give it a couple weeks) and with me not having a clean shop and paint booth, i got quite a bit of dust/dirt/debris in the paint. i was fully aware that this would happen cause im still happy with how it turned out. Their is...

just like the title says does anyone know a stock 4.0 1994 rangers inlet and outlet for the muffler pipe diameter? looking to get my brother a new muffler for Christmas and i dont know if i measured it correctly. for the muffler i measured 2" inlet and 2" outlet. Doesnt seem right to me. Anyways...
