99 Ranger 3.0 problems
Well I've been outside all day tryin to figure out what's wrong. Idles rough, cuts out while under load, exhaust seems rich and sooty, a lot of vibrations. Some of it seems to be gone now that I cleaned out the idle air and mass air sensor(both were very dirty) although the idle seems to still be very rough. So in went new plugs, off came the exhaust to see if any restrictions. Throwing idle air and purge circuit malfunctions along with a misfire in cylinder #2. I thought maybe the phantom wiper thing maybe fried something? So I took the wiper switch apart and cleaned it accordingly to what I read elsewhere(claimed the wipers never went off by themselves again. Primary resistance on coil reads about 1 ohm. Secondary resistance reads about 12.75. That secondary seems high? Checking the mass air yields about 2volts on signal wire until it idles down then jumps to like 100something? What the heck? Drove it around for while cleaning the mass air helped a lot but still not runnin quite right. No MIL on yet either. Took negative cable off before driving it to so it cfould clear. Just can't figure it out. Anybody? Otherwise its goin to service dept.
