Ok i purchased a 93 3.0 auto short bed ranger 2 weeks ago. guy said he had the heads resurfaced and valves done, also trans rebuilt. i bought it backfiring with no power. there was a huge crack in the intake tube so i thought that was the problem, nope fixed that still ran bad. looked at the mass air flow sensor and seen the connector was hacked up to make it fit right, i unplugged it and plugged it in upside down from how it was and it ran better, not great but better, so i looked at pics online of the maf and seen it looked diffrent from the one i had so i went to my local pick a part and got the right one, bam runs great for maybe 4 hours, now its back to backfiring no power.... i had a muffler put on today and they showed me the insides of my cats fell apart. right now at wot it runs ok but normal throttle it backfires and hesitates.
side note, when i first got it when i put gas in it it would leak from the filler neck, now it doesn't, also 3 days ago i filled the tank and hopped on the freeway and drove about 130mi and by then the truck was on E.
