throttle

Hello, Shortly after I fixed the same 1997 Ford Ranger 3.0l Engine, the same problem came back after I replaced the PCM. For about 3 days I was able to run the truck completely normally and reliably. When I got in the truck to head home after work last night, it started having the same issue...

Hello, We've been having all sorts of troubles with this Ford Ranger we bought as a small project a few months ago. So far, we've replaced the engine after discovering the original had junk piston rings when we were trying to replace the heads and we've taken it to a mechanic who did nothing...

Recently took a 2000 km trip this February the day after a 50cm snowfall and through -26 C weather through much of the journey in my 1997 Ford Ranger 3.0 V6. Only issue was at one point the throttle cable got caught and stuck half open. Sometimes when it's cold it sticks at just a little bit of...

Was trying to clean my throttle body and IAC this morning.. Got the IAC clean but I can't get the hose that is connecting to the throttle body to even budge. Is there a technique to getting it off without destroying the rubber? here is a pic so I can clarify what im talkin bout thanks for...

Hey everyone, happens to be my first post! I just recently bought a used Ranger (2003 2.3L 4cyl) and it just developed a small RPM issue. I'll do my best to be verbose: When I start the engine, the RPMs are very slow to settle down. Starts out at about 2k and works its way down to ~800 over...

1992 Ranger, 2.3 L, 5sp Mazda, Std Cab / Short bed Hi folks - new to this forum and have searched for related topic, but no luck. . . Just bought this truck and it runs great, except for this hugely annoying problem - can't accelerate up a freeway ramp my mashing the pedal, cause it will...
