#212 of 256 99 Ford Ranger--engine shakes by Rangergrl Dec 28, 2008 (7:30 am)
My Ranger only has 38,000 miles on it, and when I sit idle (say at a stoplight) the engine shakes. The normal shaking does not bother me, but there is a definite whole engine shakes and it feels like a belt is loose/off but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Thanks.

#216 of 256 89 ranger 2.3 engine by tnt40185 Dec 28, 2008 (11:32 am)
I just bought an 89 ford ranger with a 2.3 engine with 2 coil pacs. When I first drove it home it smoked for about 15 minutes and stoped smoking. It runs rough at an idle but when you increase the RPM's up to 1000 rpm's it smoothes out and there is no missing. I replaced the plugs and wires and it still misses at an idle but it smokes again and won't stop. It is a grey smoke. I did a pressure test on the coolant system and it shows a leak I think it is a head gasket. My question is if it is a head gasket and is repaired is the grey smoke going to go away or will it continue ? Also I understand it could be a bad cylinder. With running at a higher RPM's wouldn't it miss all the time if it is a bad cylinder. looking for a cheap fix   Terry
#217 of 256 89 for 2.3 by tnt40185 Dec 28, 2008 (11:55 am)
I was wrong on the RPM's on the previous post when I raise them up to 2000 RPM's its smooth. But it seems like its running rich also. Any help would be apreciated.   Terry

I just drove the ranger about 10 miles and the engine stopped smoking but it still misses at an idle. Is it possable that the cat converter is also causing me problems?   Terry
#219 of 256 twin plug head by pops13 Dec 31, 2008 (3:48 am)
can someone tell me why ford would put 8 plugs in a four cyl. motor? ang then they make the 4 on the drivers side almost impossible to get out. was this one of fords better ideas? Replies to this message: bolivar (Dec 31, 2008 5:04 pm)
#220 of 256 1999 4cyl. power problem? by bugscout21 Dec 31, 2008 (3:08 pm)
My ranger 4 cyl with 168,000 miles runs perfect at speed but at low rpm it wants to stall. timing belt plugs and wires were just done and it started this after the wires and plugs????
