I am the owner of an 88 ranger 2.9l 4x4 5spd. The guy i bought it from swapped it from an aut to a manual. But I've been rreadingon here since I got the truck. To my understanding 87 was the last year to have an egr, but my 88 has one on it making me think it's not the original engine. It had a plethora of codes on it and ha. Any help would be been repla. ng things as I find them with no cure for the bucking.
My question is, is there a way to tell what year the ecm is from? I'm thinking he stole the motor, Trans and ecm from an older ranger. The egr is capped off so am I right to think an ecm from an 88 or newer should cut out the egr codes and possibly my bucking when warm? i have done all the new vehicle tune up items as well. Any help would be appreciated.
