#1 of 302 black knob on sensor before intake manifold.What is it? by rbarnes

May 07, 2006 (3:08 pm)

I have a '93 ford ranger 3.0 v6.I noticed a black knob about 1" dia that is located on what I think is a sensor on the drivers side of intake manifold.The whole sensor(?) assembly has a black plastic cover over it and the knob is on the left lower side toward the engine.Anyone know what this may be?
Thank you

For the past 5 or 10 thousand miles this 3.0 liter has had a clicking sound often, usually when backing off lightly on speed, accompanied sometimes by a puff of white smoke out the tailpipe, when the clicking is often louder. No oil consumption is noticed between oilchanges. Ideas?

I use a quart every 1000 miles or so. Leak is from front of tranny. Anything to try rather than a tranny rebuild?

Tighten the lower intake manifold bolts. Loose bolts is usually the reason 4L's ping. Loose bolts also cause oil usage.
 
Clean the MAF sensors with electrical spray cleaner. This might be a part of ping also, but loose intake is usual problem.

#9 of 302 Ranger water leak by jimbob510

I have a 2000 Ranger, 67000 mi on the clock-never hit. Recently developed a water leak (seap) on the drivers side floor area by the kick panel. Pulled the seat & carpet to dry & set up the hose to see where it's coming in. No drips visible under the dash. Anyone else as frustrated as me?
