Did you get it fixed or no?

Thanks guys for jumping in! I got some Motorcraft SP-493 plugs. Hopefully they are compatible. I couldn't find the original part number AWSF-32P. I haven't installed yet, too dang cold now, maybe this weekend.

Greetings Folks, I plan to put new spark plugs and wires on my 94 Ranger with 3.0 engine. The label by the radiator says to use AWSF-32P plugs. My local parts stores don’t have these. From what I gather, Motorcraft no longer makes the AWSF-32P. What part number is the Motorcraft replacement...

Thanks RonD!

RonD, I see that you also have a 94 Ranger. Can you do me a favor and look at the pipe in my picture below. When I was working on the fuel testing, I found a hole in the pipe. It's a pretty clean hole about the size of a #10 screw size. I put a self-tapping #10 screw in it to plug it up. You can...

Dirtman, sorry I wrote that wrong, with pedal to the floor it doesn't start. I took the old fuel pump and connected it to a 14V power supply with a hose connected to the pump output. I then put the pump in a bucket with water. I let the pump run for a while and recirculate the water. After...

Thanks guys for all of your valuable knowledge! I appreciate it very much! RonD, could a leaky injector causing it to stall? Dirtman, I gave it a cold start with pedal to the floor. It started but didn't sputter. Whatever has been happening is intermittent so one test may not determine...

I never tried that Dirtman. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Too late for me right now. It stalled on me four times when I was out running errands. It would just stop running while driving. I pulled over and after a 10 or 15 minutes it would start again and then go a couple miles and quit again. I...

Thanks Uncle Gump, I pulled off the vacuum hose to the regulator and did't see any gas in the hose. From what I gather if that's bad, there will be gas in the hose or regulator. Should there be gas in it if it's bad?

Greetings, I have a 94 Ranger 3.0. I am losing fuel pressure intermittently. I am fairly sure that it losing pressure from the fuel pump/tank. Can you tell me where the check valve is for the fuel pump? Is it possible to replace the check valve? I put a prsesure gauge on the shrader valve and...

Greetings to One and All, Before I start working on anything electrical, I disconnect the battery so that all power is removed. I also double-check my work before reconnecting the battery. I have an intermittent electrical problem with my 94 ranger. I believe it's in the power distribution...

Greetings to One and All, I would like to get your opinion about radiator caps for a Ranger 3.0 auto/2wd with AC. Will a 14 lb. or 16 lb. cap work better? Thanks and happy holidays!

Greetings Folks, I have a leak in my 94 Ranger radiator. It has a 3.0 two-wheel drive with automatic trans. I bought a new radiator and I'm ready to install it this weekend. Can you tell me the steps for replacing it? Is it going to be a piece of cake or a PITA to replace? How long should it...

Greettings Folks! I need some help on removing the front brake calibers on my 94 Ranger. Sorry if this in the archives but I searched the site and can't find it. How do you take out the "split-pins" that hold the caliber in place? Many thanks!

Greetings to One and All, I am here in need of help. I have a 94 Ranger. After I drive at night about 20 to 30 minutes, the headlights will intermittently go off and on. Sometimes stay off up to about 3 seconds. They will then work okay for a while and then more off and on flicker. The dash...
