Good luck. The smallish 5.0 Ex trans mount is a weak point and chances of finding a decent used one are slim. It might be OK to use an old one to...
The P1131 code relates to the signal from the upstream sensor to the PCM. Like I said before, it could be that the O2 sensor itself is bad or it...
Look near the outlet of the exhaust manifold or nearby in the exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust manifold. There will be a 4-wire sensor...
Rangers have 1, 2, 3 or 4. Your 97 2.3 has 2 oxygen sensors. P1131 is for the sensor that is upstream of all cats.
OK, that piece of information would have been helpful in the first post. A P1131 might mean that the oxygen sensor is bad. On the other hand, it...
A CEL can come on for any of hundreds of different reasons. It would be a good idea to get the actual trouble code before condemning a particular...
More correctly, there could be damage to the catalytic converter(s). The flashing CEL is reporting misfire and, during misfire, the cat...
The flashing CEL means that misfire is currently being detected by the PCM. The most common cause is deteriorating ignition components like plugs...
There is a small amount of difference year to year but most have something like this: Supercab 6ft: 19.5 gal Regular cab 6ft: 16.5 gal Regular...
Your stock Ford exhaust system is stainless steel although it is the low grade 409 stainless that most OEM's use because of its lower cost. 409...
It's actually quite easy to add the PS autodown. Just 5 wires from the JY module tapped into the Ranger door harness. I've done this conversion in...
No, that won't work. The 2002 autodown DS window is controlled by the GEM module. You can add auto down on the PS (and even auto up on both...
Recheck the color code to see if it isn't actually a discolored white w/black stripe. If wh/bk, it should be the short wire from the 1-wire...
harness and PCM 97 2.3L automatic only. (2.3L SOHC discontinued for 98 and later Ranger. 96-back uses different auto trans wiring and different...
The solid purple wire at the HVAC control panel goes hot and stays hot whenever AC operation is commanded. Using this wire to trigger the fan...
To summarize: New fuel pump. New fuel filter. Measured fuel pressure drops to 25 PSI during the problem. Swapped regulator?? You didn't report...
Have you actually measured it during the problem or are you assuming that the fuel pressure is the cause?
Your 98 pressure should be a constant pressure of about 64 PSI +/- 8 PSI. The damper does not affect overall system pressure but helps to minimize...
98 and later Ranger has the fuel pressure regulator inside the fuel tank on the pump assembly. The part on the 98+ rail is the fuel pulse damper.
There is a different insert for the same full length console that was used on Explorers without the Message Center. It already has a storage...
