87 ranger 2.9/5sp.
Ok guys i got rusty 2.0 running 100x better then before. Got it buttoned up yesterday and have put about 50 miles on it since then without any of the bullshit, weird issues i had before.
But now, it seems to go super rich at idle or if i let go of the throttle.
I suspected a TPS issue because i had screwed with that stop screw on the TB at one point (stupid i know) but its got a range of .9 up to 4.8 or so....so thats good right? Tried 3 different tps and got the same thing.
However, the black/white wire (which is ground right?) didnt seem to be grounding when i touched the black lead to it from my tester.
The only things that arnt brand new are the coolant sensor, IAT and MAP. Literally everything else is new.
The only thing is i did the 88 ECM swap to get away from the EGR/knock sensor. I have the EGR valve still on but it was a new valve...so that shouldnt be an issue right? Seeing as how if they dont get vaccuum they dont open?
I have ran codes and only got that stupid code 67.
