I have a 2002 Ranger XLT 2.3, 2wd, manual trans. that threw a code that shows its the IMRC stuck open. I have called 2-3 dealerships and everyone sounds very surprised that this has happened, so surprised that even the dealerships have to order the part in to replace it. Does anybody else have experience with the IMRC? Chilton and Hayes Manuals are useless on this topic, and dont even have a picture to go by. Any suggestions? Thanks

Replying to: traci1962 (May 01, 2008 8:18 pm) Seems like you have 2 sets of intake runners to each cylinder, controled by some kind of valve. And this valve is not opening correctly. |

| I have a 1995 ford ranger 4 cyl. 2.30 eng. I tried to have it smogged today and it failed the fuel evap test. I understand this has to do with a leak in the fuel system from the tank to the fuel pump. Leaking fumes. If some one can let me know a good place to start. should I replace the fuel fill hose or ck the vac. hose from the tank to the fuel pump? would be happy with any help thanx | |
| I have a 92 ford ranger 4x4 2.3L 5 spd, i hear a whining noise at certain speeds and i believe it has something to do with the front wheels, the hub lockouts are not working properly, could this cause the noise? | |

98 Ranger XLT 4.0 2X4, 198,000 miles. The engine misfires consistently at idle and under load. On the freeway, it surges back and forth. There is no colored smoke, or indication of mechanical noises or problems, just bad misfire as if from an ignition system problem. It even still continues to get respectable fuel economy, despite the loss in power. I had similar symtoms about 6 months ago (the engine had been misfiring for a while when I finally took care of it; it's my friend's ride), replaced the plugs with Autolite "double platinum" and new Motorcraft O.E. ignition wires. After replacing the plugs and wires and reconnecting the battery (clearing the CEL), it ran great for a few months, without any hint of misfiring. Good as new, I thought... Recently, the misfiring started again as bad (or worse) than ever. I've checked the wires to make sure all was well-seated. I have codes from the OBDII reader at Auto Zone: P0304 P0171 P0174 The codes seem to tell a story of "something's wrong in the EFI/Fuel System, but I don't know what." Before I start on an endless quest of replacing every component in the system starting with O2 sensors, does anyone have experience with these same problems, and the likely fixes? This truck looks like crap but has been very reliable despite the abuse of continuing to run it while misfiring, and I'd like to eliminate the misfiring once and for all to make sure it continues to be reliable (and fuel efficient). Thank you for sharing.

Replying to: nvbanker (Jun 10, 2008 2:05 pm) It needs a CA smog inspection, and I doubt it will pass like this. I'm guessing it's time to replace O2 sensors. But I wonder if it's common that the electronic module that acts as a distributor cap goes bad, causing misfiring. Is it common to use trial and error replacing these expensive parts? |
