    2.3L ('83-'97) I seek 2.3L Understanding

    Ditto, `98-`01 is a 2.5L, but the same Lima basics. That '99-'07 is an improperly attributed Duratec Engine, not compatible. I'd look for a company that can figure that out...

    2.5L ('98-'01) 2.3 to 2.5 conversion questions

    If it did it until it wouldn't start, check the crank sensor, mine was dingged up on the face. 176,000 miles.

    2.5L ('98-'01) 2.3 to 2.5 conversion questions

    2.5L uses 1/2 of a thrust bearing on the block side, and it appears to be a common failure; mine had .119" of endplay - only .107" out of spec. But, the 2.5L has up to 3x the endplay of a 2.3L. Mine was a ballooned torque converter.

    2.3L ('83-'97) Pinging?

    FIX the exhaust leak first. And exhaust leak can allow air IN to be misread by the O2 sensors. THEN you can look at the pinging issue...

    2.5L ('98-'01) Intermittent throttle. Can't drive it....Issue now rectified.

    If the MAF has failed, it reverts back to a Failed MAF table - it should throw a code and run like normal - but no "Learning". I'd look at the voltage from the Throttle Position Sensor and make sure it is working and not "dropping out" during its sweep.

    2.3L ('83-'97) 95 2.3l confused and need major help

    Fuel Pump Fuel Pressure Regulator Regulator is cheaper/easier, but not likely the problem. How many miles? When (if ever) was the pump replace (and with what)?

    2.3L ('83-'97) 92 2.3L 4 cylinder 8 spark plug swap with 90 2.3L 4 cylinder 4 spark plug

    That being said - Look at the lower (and upper) intakes - on some swaps, the intake(s) need to be changed, and that makes other things complicated. If you have a distributor, and late 2.3/2.5 head lower intake will not fit with the distributor/brackets/accessories of the early engine. The HEADS...

    2.5L ('98-'01) Research help - block markings...

    Looking for images of the "DISA" mark, passenger side cyl #2. Mine is 3 DISA, I have also seen 4 DISA... Looking to get an idea of how many castings Ford was using.. Thx

    2.5L ('98-'01) 2000 Ford Ranger Parts

    4R44e on the 2.5L SOHC 5R44E on the 3.0L OHV 5R55E on the 4.0L SOHC 5R55E (with 6 pinion planetary gears) on 4.0L SOHC 4x4 But yes. The key phrase is; You want to buy a "Core" A used transmission requires a core exchange and may be returned. A "Core" is just that, and is no return, no warranty.

    2.3L ('83-'97) Standard rings ?

    Metric vs. Standard... Also, what are you measuring WITH, and where are you measuring? If you are using a standard Dial Micrometer, it is difficult to get a good reading on a used block due to the ring ridge.

    1994 B4000 A4LD to 4R55?

    4R44/4R55/5R44 are all downgrades. BEST would be a performance built 4x4 A4LD - for reasons. A 4x4 5R55E would be a good second choice, assuming you don't mind losing a gear (if you stay with the '94 PCM) or changing to an OBDII PCM. I have been able to use a 4R44E as a 5R44E - but it required...

    SOHC 4.0 thermostat housing upgrade

    My 2005 Sport Trac had two sensor holes, one was not used. Got the Mustang single sensor unit. Works great!

    2.5L ('98-'01) Exhaust manifold for '98 2.5L?

    Crack in the cat/flange leak causes air to get sucked in, between pulses, and causes the O2 sensor to get bad readings - it can cause lots of problems. I would change the O2, if it has been more than 75K since you did it last. Prefer Motorcraft - if you can find them.
