1996, 2.3 liter ford ranger with 207k miles on her. I recently replaced the head gasket and repaired a handful of vacuum leaks.
Symptoms:
poor idle
rough start while cold
impossible to start while warm
smell of gas after second attempt, however it could be I'm flooding it trying so much
Recent compression test showed 4 cylinders at or very near 180psi (not bad for 207k) and the fourth cylinder at 150. I'll give it a spoonful of oil shortly, however I'm curious if anyone has any advice or tests which can narrow down the problem.
Thanks,
Russell
