I just bought this 87 2wd Ranger. It had the TPS disconnected and a lot of other problems needing attention, including missing vac lines, etc. But it did run, albeit with a very high idle and not very good acceleration or performance.
I plugged in everything I could find that was disconnected and after reading a little on high idle issues on TRS, I tried disconnecting the iac and setting the idle to something near normal, which it did just fine. OK. I have a bad or dirty iac.
I removed the iac today to clean and test it and this is what I found....
The gasket was installed just as you see it here. Lolz. Not even close. I believe there may have been beer involved when this was installed.
