#202 of 251 engines dies by jamccurrie Sep 05, 2008 (1:58 pm)
I have a 2.3L, 4 cylinder, ranger. It dies as soon as it gets warm, and won't start again till it cools down. Does anyone have suggestions? Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Sep 05, 2008 7:38 pm)

Replying to: jamccurrie (Sep 05, 2008 1:58 pm) You didn't state year or mileage. A common problem is a bad distributor or bad ignition control modual for that symptom. Recomend troubleshooting when it dies and find out if you have spark, and injection pulse. Unlikely that it is a fuel pressure issue, but you can check it anyway. After warm up feel the distributor housing and see if it is hot to the touch. It should only be warm, not real hot. Check this and then re post with what you found. I'll tell ya how to troubleshoot it from there.
#204 of 251 87 ranger 2.9 V/6 AUTO TRANS 165,000 mi. by rangereight7 Sep 12, 2008 (7:18 pm)
Hi, the engine is making lifter noise. We adjusted the valves according to the manual and it still ticks. Does this mean cam and lifter change? It uses water once a week w/ no visible leaks. Has fuel injection and a bardall solution in the fuel tank to help clean em. The plugs are new and gapped at .044 thou...Occationally it stays in 1st gear too long upon take off. Any input will be appreciated.                                                    AL Note: I am the 2nd. owner and have kept the oil changes regular, many thanks.

Replying to: grump1 (Oct 10, 2008 1:15 pm) Better place to ask would be Ford Ranger Engine swap.

#209 of 251 Overhead cams? by flhtdan Oct 24, 2008 (4:12 pm)
There were problems with these in the early years of 2000. with gears or chain wearing out at around 100,000 miles. Has this problem been solved and what year was it? I'm in the market for a good used Ranger around 2003 -2005. What should I be looking for as far as any problems I mentioned?
