#2795 of 2825 Re: 96 Ford Ranger cuts out when accelerating [bolivar] by straw2gold Sep 01, 2009 (7:01 am)
Replying to: bolivar (Aug 31, 2009 4:59 pm) Yes, I forgot to mention that. I have installed a new fuel filter. I also ran a full can of BG44K, with a full tank of gas, through the fuel system.   Thanks.

Replying to: tle5000 (Oct 02, 2005 6:48 am) If the symptoms return when shifting, you should check the two wires to the TCS on the shifter stalk. At higher miles, the wires may chafe and/or break on the top of the steering column where they make a right angle bend coming out of the hollow shifter. This can cause a momentary short to ground when moving the lever. Access for inspection by removing the upper column trim.

About 20,000 miles ago my ranger blew the rack and pinion seals both sides. I am now faced with the same problem. I wonder what is wrong. Is possible that the pump is over pressuring? Replies to this message: yamahammer87 (Sep 06, 2009 3:52 pm) cuccaro (Sep 08, 2009 7:53 am)

Replying to: cuccaro (Sep 06, 2009 9:18 am) Im having the same problem on the same model. i just replaced the high pressure hose from the steering pump (had a pinhole leak) and as soon as i did that the seals on the rack and pinion gave out. Replies to this message: cuccaro (Sep 08, 2009 7:53 am)

#2800 of 2825 Re: stalls when put in gear [cj091184] by tater4 Sep 11, 2009 (4:54 pm)
Replying to: cj091184 (Apr 13, 2005 11:47 pm) AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS WHAT IS CALLED A LOCK-UP CONVERTER AND WHEN IT STAYS IN THE LOCKED MODE IT IS THE SAME AS TRYING TO STOP A STANDARD WITHOUT PUSHING THE CLUTCH IN.... IT STALLS OUT. YOU CAN REPAIR IT OR UNPLUG IT.... THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN UNPLUGGED BUT IT WILL RUN AND STOP JUST FINE.
#2801 of 2825 Valve noise? by 1slick1 Oct 03, 2009 (4:21 am)
Hey everyone. I am driving a 2000 Ranger with a 2.5L 4 cylinder. Lots of valve clatter in the lower range of 2nd and 3rd gears. Any suggestions on what to do without an expensive repair job?

Replying to: kkrase (Oct 06, 2009 6:50 am) A friend told me it has to do with a computer chip that runs your entire fuel and ignition system. You'll have to ask a qualified ford mechanic about this computer chip.
#2804 of 2825 What Spark Plugs Do You Use? by mharnisch Oct 08, 2009 (7:07 am)
I will soon be changing the plugs in my '99 Ranger with 3.0 Flex Fuel engine. I am curious as to what brand and type of plug other Ranger owners are using and why. Also, someone told me to use antisieze on the threads. My Haynes manual doesn't mention this. Should I or shouldn't I?
