In 1989 Ranger, 2.3l 4cyl, or 2.9l V6, were only engine options?

4.0l swap?

The 4.0l Computers all used MAF sensors no MAP sensor, and no BAP sensor, barometric pressure was "inferred" by MAF and Throttle sensor
The fact its plugged in means at least some of engine harness is from a 2.9l

So a little more detail on this vehicle would be needed
There's 89 2wd build and titled trucks with 4.0.

They are really 90....but I ha e seen them as family members owned them


The 1st 4.0,s did have bap sensors and no NGS.

I unplugged the sensor and took for another test drive, still Boggs the same. Its crazy because when I short shift and am low in RPM the motor is perfect, but when I push the pedal down to accelerate immediate bogg.

Neutral gear switch.


I built several harnesses over a dozen or so swaps with the early critters...the first systems suck....too many changes

Running a 1st calibration on a fast burn engine is hell on headgaskets.

Los or fmem.


Ok. Check the tps carefully. Do you have a good known tps?

Did the throttle tip on change at all with it disconnected. Sounds like the maf is working alone or the tps is.


See what codes it's throwing now.
