- 1999 ranger xlt
Hi I have a 1999 ranger xlt,AT, 4.0 engine.
The engine starts and runs nice, but after it warms up it starts pinging. I put a scanner on it and watched the advance when started I'd is around 14 deh after running a while it goes to higher while still idling. Driving around at slow speed it advances up to 34 deg. And the engine starts pinging quite loud. It I then stop and restart the engine it runs nice with around deg spark advance. After a few minutes the timing advances again and the engine starts pinging again. No engine codes. So far I have cleaned the maf sencer, replaced the crank sensor,replaced plugs.nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
