Hello,
I will try to use the correct English and sentence structure as well as punctuation as has been requested of me. Please forgive me if I fail to do so at times.
I have a 1988 Ford Ranger XLT 4 WD that was given to me years ago in poor running condition. I had it running a couple of years ago however it was determined that the engine, a 2.9 liter, was in need of a rebuild. I was able to have that work done as well as a considerable amount of old parts replaced this year. I have the locally rebuilt engine installed however I have a significant lack of power when I attempt to drive it. It idles and revs up well when under no load. My scanner shows only a Code: 11 meaning the computer (EEC) is holding no DTC codes. I have timed the engine to 10 BTDC with the SPOUT connector removed and replaced. I have replaced the oxygen sensor, the IAC valve, and the ECT sensor. I have used two different but compatible (same id numbers) EEC s with no difference in the problem. I have accessed the rear of the catalytic convertors (CA) and can see through them to the tip of the O2 sensor. One thing that I do not understand is the lack of any MAF sensor or wiring for one on this vehicle. I have one throttle body valve with a TP sensor that tests within it's limits. There is no other piece attached to the air cleaner nor any signs for an attachment. The hose connecting the air cleaner box and the throttle body fits well and is of the correct length.
Any comments or ideas are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for your time. I hope that all are able to understand what I have written.
