    Engine swap 2.3l '93 into a '94

    I've got a '93 perfectly running 2.3l ranger 2 wheel drive manual with a rusted out body. I also have a horribly running 4.0l '94 ranger automatic. Both have the same wheel base. How likely are parts going to fit from the '93 into the '94? The plan is to swap the '94 to a 2.3l 2wd manual until I...

    Proper tps voltage

    Well, got my '94 to hesitate less and not die at cold start. I noticed the throttle plate set screw and stop mashed up. I turned in the screw to make up for material lost due to that. It runs better, but how do I set this adjustment properly? I will be searching google but I want to hear it from...

    Blower motor

    I've always wondered why vehicle manufactures have used shaded pole motors and resistor blocks for their cabin air. Why not a psc motor and forget the resistor block? I do believe they use them now, or at least an ecm motor. But why now? Psc motors have been around for a long time. I have a ford...

    Idles fine, won't rev

    I've got an issue I'm about to give up on. I got a "new to me" 1994 4.0l. Alot of you will probably remember the thread I made on it. Well, it now idles just fine, will start up, but if you try to drive it, it'll attempt to stall like it's running too lean. I've tried unplugging the MAF and...

    New old buy, doesn't move '94 ranger

    Hey ya'll, been a while. Sold the '93 regrettably and a few vehicles later I have a '03 Ford Escape and I'm missing my 4x4 ranger. So, I found one online. It's a 1994 4.0l 4x4 automatic stx model. It's not like the old red one I had. But, What do you think is the most common issue is that would...

    wrecked, what to look for

    Hey y'all, I hit a patch of ice, regained grip and went up a hill into a pole. Pole isn't ok but truck is other than the fiberglass bed. Kudos to ford for a great safety design. The center link is bent, steering box shaft snapped, driveshaft came apart at the splines, leaf spring bent, and front...

    Clutch switch

    I couldn't find this on the forums and instructions on Google are hard to come by. So I though I'd put this out there for people wanting to bypass their clutch switch. There are 6 pins on the switch, my ranger only uses two. I ohmed them out and this is what I got, with pedal pressed to the...

    Throttle position sensor

    Well, tested my TPS after having my ranger hesitating on acceleration. Turn out fuel pump is weak, 5psi under minimum value at idle and drainback is pathetic. Goes back to 0psi in 20 seconds. Anyway, I found some weak points doing a resistance test on it, couldn't do a voltage test as the...

    Bench seats

    Anyone know out of what make/model/ year I need for a bolt in replacement? Or would I need to drill some holes? People say buckets are more comfortable, my s15 and f150 have told me differently, so I want one in my ranger.

    Draft through vents while driving

    I'm lost on how to fix this. I get a draft through whatever vents I've selected while driving on the road and the fan turned off. It becomes noticeable around 40mph and very noticeable at 55 and it doesn't matter if I have the AC on or off. It's very annoying and would like to get it fixed while...

    Transmission Rebuild Advice wanted

    I got the tranny out of my '93 4x4 during a few warm days Indiana has provided. I haven't dug into it yet to replace the bearings because winter is doing it's thing right now and the shop is full. So, while I wait on that, is there any advice y'all can give me so I can minimize the chance of...

    Weird startup issue

    Every time I start up my '93 4.0l ranger, it'll start, go to high idle, then the rpm will drop until it almost stalls, after it almost dies the rpm will jump back up to high idle like it normally should. I thought I had a drain back issue with my fuel pump but it'll do this several times in a...

    Transmission Blockout?

    I replaced the rubber plugs on the upper shift rail of the transmission on my '93. I took out the shifter to retrieve a core plug i hammered in too far. Afterwards i got a very funny feeling 5th, it would go part way into gear, the you'd have to push harder and it would "snap" into gear, almost...

    Rebuild kit question

    I've got a '93 splash with a 4.0L engine. Tranny is a m5od-r1 sticker on the side reads F27A. I'm looking for a rebuild kit and the closest I come to finding one is for a F17A. Would the one for a F17A work on the F27A since what I've read the only difference is the F17 is a year older than the...
