Replying to: xlt2x2 (Aug 16, 2009 8:11 am) When functioning correctly, vacuum is applied to the gas tank vent hose, to pull fumes into the charcoal recovery tank. If the vacuum cannot be pulled, it sees 'high pressure'? Bad gas cap. Bad vent lines. Bad canister. Any or all of the hoses of this system. There may be relays and vacuum switches also in this system that have failed. P.S. This is another reason to not run the vehicle when you are fueling it, you may set a check engine light. Main reason, is you may blow up. P.P.S. This also shows that having a code reader, and know the definition of the code set in some cases may not give you much of any hint at all as to what is wrong. You need a factory service manual, which has procedures to run for error codes. |

| I drive a 1988 Ranger XLT 2.3L 5 Spd 2wd with 104,000 miles. At 1,800 rpms a vibrating/buzzing noise starts and goes away after about 2200 rpm. It does this regularly through all gears. The sound is like a piece of sheet metal vibrating against another piece of metal. The truck is fine other than a noisy power steering pump. Thought it was the shiny aluminum rim pieces but they seem pretty snug. Any help? Its very annoying/embarrassing. | |

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD w/ a 4.0. I am wondering if it is normal to have your power steering pump constantly whining as if it is low on fluid,(even though itis full), or is there a deeper problem such as pump going out? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I went to the auto parts store the other day to get filters for my 1999 Ranger with 3.0 flex engine. The parts person looked up the filters that I needed and asked if I wanted a cabin air filter. I told him I didn't know I had one. He said that he showed one listed for a '99 Ranger, and he showed me on his computer that it was indeed listed. When I got home I checked my owner's manual and my Haynes manual and neither mentioned a cabin air filter. I then checked behind the glove box as well as in the engine compartment near the firewall, but I could not find one. Does anyone know if there is one on a '99 Ranger and where it would be?

I have a 96 Ford Ranger with 125,000 miles. 2.3L engine. When I accelerate, regardless of RPM, the engine will cut out. If I baby the gas pedal, and I mean really baby it, I can get the truck up to free way speeds without too much coughing and choking. But accelerating normally is totally out of the question at this point. The problem seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. I have replaced the plugs and wires, and the EGR valve. I have cleaned the MAF sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. Nothing has helped. A mechanic buddy of mine told me to change the fuel pump. That is expensive, so I don't want to do that unless I have too. Your thoughts please. Thanks!!!
