Thanks for chiming in Tom. I've got another problem, maybe you can help. Here's the link. Would appreciate anyone's advice - http://www.rangerforum.com/threads/i-could-use-your-help-rough-idle.11369/

After I made my second post and took care of a few other things around the house, I decided to take the truck out for a longer test drive just to make sure my "fix" actually took. This was about an hour and a half after I last messed with the truck. Problems seemed to be back, but not as bad as...

...well, maybe not so much of a fix...

GOD I LOVE FIXES LIKE THAT. So, I decided to continue researching my plight, because honestly, I had NO idea what to look at, or for, with this thing. I started to notice a number of posts pointing to issues with the Idle Bypass Valve (some of you call this the IAC). It seems they sometimes get...

...is not a new Canadian rock band, but rather how my truck decided it was going to run today. So here's my issue.... I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XL with 2.5L 4-cylinder and 5-speed Manual transmission (see my avatar). Truck starts ok, but idles very rough. Most times, does not run more than a...

I asked this a while ago but never got an answer. Thinking maybe no one saw it since it in a pretty buried section (or maybe just one that very few ever visit?) Anyway, here's the link --> https://www.rangerforum.com/threads/2-5l-tune-up-q.9772/ Answer it here, answer it there, doesn't matter...

Great! :rolleyes:

...Insane. Sorry you had to go through that.

...and you talked to your local dealer and told them you'd already had it replaced?

3 ways to clean an engine without rebuilding it.... Water, ATF or Diesel. Actually, what you're cleaning is the carbon out of the combustion chambers. If you do a lot of very short trips, like less than 10 minutes running time, your CC's can build up a bit of carbon, because the engine is never...

getbent - so you had your airbag replaced twice?

Welcome Tanner! I don't know if you saw it, but I offered some suggestions to your floor mat dilemma in the thread you created.

Two + years later and I guess I'll do another gas mileage update. Still running the truck on premium. Gas mileage was starting to hover around 25 mpg and I was thinking it might be time for a tune up because its been about 4-5 years since the last one was done. Instead, I further modified my...

So...7 years down the road...figured I'd treat y'all to some pics of all the mods I've made to my truck, Whitey Ford…. ...see that mark on the front bumper? That's Patina...on purpose (achieved due to careful strategic placement to a wheelbarrow!)….7 years to perfect that look. I know, I'm...

Maybe not. Check out the comments from the owner of a brand new 2019 Ford Ranger --> http://rangerforum.com/threads/vibration-and-alignments-issues-on-2019-ford-ranger.11354/

jmr301, Since my last post (quoted above) I've dropped by my local Walmart where I bought my floor mats back in 2012 and I found prices ranging between $15.99-$31.99. Some were pretty good, some where a bit flimsy. Unfortunately, I didn't see the ones I bought, but I did find a reasonable...

I bought a set at the local Walmart as my truck didn't have any when I bought it. They have a heavy tread pattern and work quite well. Fit pretty good, too! I don't recall a name, but I can take a couple of pics if you wanna see. Let me know. Dean

You're welcome.

Is there no adjustment for the torsion bars? There usually is with those kinds of setups, but maybe Ford had a better idea this time. Anyway, check for that, if you haven't already.

Did you check the wiring for the plug that plugs into the sensor? Could have a broken wire someplace in the line.
