1993 ford ranger 2.3 engine will not heat up on cold days and on warmer days it does fine.

what kind of temperature are you talking about

my '93 does the same thing, I'm thinking that it's the thermostat or a clogged heater core but I'm too lazy to change it. It's been that way for two years.

Start with a thermostat ($5-10) and then see what happens.

Yes as lenn stated i would change the thermostat and gasket.... Note which way you pull the thermostat out .. you dont want to get it in backwards

thermostat

hey guys i've got the 4 cyl in my 93 and i was wondering how to get to those 2 thermo-housing bolts. My haynes manual just says to unbolt them but it's really a tight squeeze. any suggestions?

i dont really know man.. but i know sometimes u just got to get a good swivel and socket and just go to town... if you post up your own thread someone might come in and give you some better info... if i find my old ranger book i might be able to look it up and see if theres any notes
