you guys can thank me for this tip later--after cleaning your battery terminals or replacing your battery--put one or two drops of automatic tranny fluid on the terminals--you will never see corrosion -- i apply at least once a year--terminals always look good. I am sure after winter driving or...

Looks Like Shi* Looks like add-on autosupermarket driving/fog lights!!! Take the slotted grills off of the lights and try mounting the lights behind the grill IMO

Coolant Temperature Sensor My truck has been showing code 117 since I got it a year ago--I replaced the ect 3 times to no avail--explanation of code is low voltage or grounded--had to replace the battery on Sunday and light has gone away--no more check engine light!!!;) Very happy--i assume...

I love the color--I love the wheels--I dont care for the interior--leather would make it perfect--need to get taller tires to fill in the wheel wells and turn those white letters the other way--they look hideous--a little more tint on the windows and your ride would be stealth!!!!!!

thanks for the responses--i did find the bleeder--filled master to the top and had wife sit in truck--loosened bleeder and had her push pedal down real slow--frothy ugly mix came out followed by clean fluid--did a couple of different procedures including opening bleeder with pedal to the floor...

Thank you guys--the last sentence in the link-- Note: The reverse bleeding procedure will not work on all rangers. Some rangers' bleeder is nothing but a tapered hex bolt with a hole in it, no real way to get a good seal on it.--seems to be my situation--no wonder I couldnt find the bleeder--I...

Once again I need some info---1994 Ranger 4.0 5 Speed splash extended cab--I am having shifting issues in the cold weather which point to my clutch needing bled--someone put a new clutch in before I bought it and the pedal has caught at or near the floor since I bought it---i am searching around...

hey guys--i may have been gone--but not forgotten--my fuel pressure is right on the money and the pressure regulator is working to spec----I made a gasket for the IAC valve and drilled two small hole through the gasket---my cold idle is low (around 500 rpm) so I try and let it idle for a minute...

Reality Check I hope this long thread helps others out in the future-We know my electrical system and sensors are all replaced and the fuel pressure checked out OK as did my check for vacuum leaks--started truck this morning and cold idle is unacceptable with the gasket I put into the IAC to...

just a short update--i made the gasket for the iac and drilled two small holes--but i think this is not going to work because of cold idle issues--it gets pretty cold here in PA and when I tried completely blocking the iac in the past, my cold idle made this not acceptable. idling right now with...

great explanations of the codes--thank you--i did clear them and took the truck out again to see if i could get another code--no stored code this time--still getting the 411 and 412 codes---another thing i havent mentioned before is when coasting in gear the truck bucks -- most noticeable in the...

Bought a fuel pressure guage today and my fuel pessure is textbook--so the regulator is not my problem--i ran codes again, there is a stored code 117 ECT sensor circuit grounded and the same two engine running codes 411 Cannot control RPM during KOER low RPM check 412 Cannot control...

did you try replacing or switching spark plug wires on that cylinder--distributor cap??? I know these are the obvious replys but the first things you should do---followed by a compression check on all the cylinders to compare

What was your temporary fix shaggy mane??? I tried finding a loaner fuel pressure guage today at all the auto parts stores and nobody has one---i did get pep boys to bring me out a fpr and i tried sucking on the vacuum port and it acted just loke mine--i thought maybe i would be able to hear...

fuel pressure regulator Latest update--i did change the thermostat and ATC air temp sensor in the intake and once again to no avail--i have been out of town but as soon as i got back this idle thing is making me crazy again--I checked vacuum at my fpr again and it is at a solid 20---i blocked...

very interesting JD--I actually pulled all the vac lines off and blocked all the ports on the vac intakes and ran the power brake hose to the pcv inlet--idle was fine--i then connected each vacuum line up one at a time--idle remained good--then I blocked the pcv line with a spark plug and...

Yes Potomac--double checked it at lunch today--i can blow right through it--This truck has 165,000 miles on it and I have been babying it since I got it--it really is a nice truck--when i pulled out onto the highway today, i got on it a little and was taching to 4000 before shifting--noticed...

Did this after each new part was added--sometimes 10-15 minutes--a couple of times overnight--i also always pump the breaks a couple of times just to make sure all the power is out of the electrical system---I have been on a lot of forums and it seems that is is a common prob on a lot of 4.0's...

Thanks for the advice JD--but I dont see the fuel pressure regulator?? Are you sure a 1994 has a vacuum operated regulator?? I did disconnect and plug all vacuum lines including brake booster and pcv --idle was good with all blocked--i then started reconnecting vacuum lines and idle was good...

Thanks for the response JD--not real sure what the fpr is?? It does run high in gear--most noticable when slowing down in 4th (manual trans) and it starts bucking a little--I torqued all manifold bolts both upper and lower and they were already tight--once again, i have sprayed so much carb...

need some help guys--i have exhausted the rangerstation forum for responses and was not able to fix my idle-- Replaced: MAF IAC TPS ECT Spark Plugs Wires PCV Have reset computer multiple times--bought a new thermostat that I will be installing tonight-and also bought another can of carb...

Hello All--1994 Splash--165,000 miles--very good shape-bought it because it looks cool,
