#24 of 33 Ray by rfelix Jul 24, 2009 (6:22 am)
I've had my Ranger for over two years now, and have not had a lick of trouble. Recently, the Ranger started running like chitty-chitty-bang-bang, I suspected water in the fuel and added dry gas with no luck. The Ranger acts like it isn't getting fuel and I have to keep the engine revved up to keep it from stalling. Once I get it rolling, it still bucks and jumps occasionally. I'm living on a very tight fixed income so I can't just drive it to a garage and have it diagnosed with the computer error codes. Is changing the fuel filter or 02 sensor worth a try, or should I wait until I can have a computer put on it? Replies to this message: bolivar (Jul 25, 2009 3:17 am) saintmica (Aug 06, 2009 1:51 am)

Replying to: rfelix (Jul 24, 2009 6:22 am) If the Check Engine Light isn't on, 'putting it on a computer' may not tell you anything. If it has set a 'soft' code that has reset itself, it might be helpful if the code is still in history. But if a sensor is seeing a critical problem, it will have the Check Engine light turned on.   A fuel filter replacement might help.   At 7 years old, you might also need new plug wires and/or plugs.   At about this age, on my 94 I started to hear ignition noise over the radio, even the FM radio. It only had about 50,000 miles, but it was about 7 or so years old. The truck still ran fine, but when you hear ignition noise on the radio, you have to know the wires are breaking down. A new set of wires and plugs stopped the noise. Replies to this message: saintmica (Aug 06, 2009 1:51 am)

Replying to: bolivar (Jul 25, 2009 3:17 am) ditto on the plugs and wires. i have an 01 that had them replaced when I bought the truck used at 24,000. It now has 98,000 and started missing occasionally after rough idling for about a year. decided to check a plug and see how it looked and the wire fell apart as I removed it and the plug was completely shot. I checked the gap (supposed to ..052-.056 or something) and it was almost at .145 and looked terrible. I blame the crap gas we have around here.   after a new set of plugs and wires she runs great again and gas mileage jumped from 15 mpg up to 19 mpg overnight.

Replying to: stick0413 (Nov 01, 2007 9:27 pm) ford had a class action lawsuit in california. there is an electronic part near the distributor on many ford vehicles from at least the 1980's through around 2000. when it gets overheated the circuit shorts and causes the engine to die. After it cools down the circuit is complete and vehicle runs again. The part is inexpensive.

Replying to: rick2343 (Nov 01, 2009 8:11 pm) Well, on Cad Northstar, this symptom many times means the Crank Position Sensor is bad.
