i know, i know, it's a ford, but owell...she means well, she really does....anyways it's an 02ranger w/ the 3.0litre and 77k miles....it ran great until 2days ago, at which point it acting like a dirty fuel filter....but slowly got worse, it would kind of "miss" under load, and somewhat at idle....well, today i replaced the filter, no fix....then looked at all the plugs, and they all looked ok too....whatever this is, it's getting worse....and not throwing a code..

im thinking maybe an 02sensor, or cat....but wouldn't those throw codes????

please help if you have any idea what this could be

thanks
~Dave

Furd just jealous of the '83 Chevy! :D

Honestly, it should be throwing codes. Unfortunately, it could be anything from bad gas (no pun to it running like

) to timing. Check the tightness of the gas cap. Sometimes if the cap on the FURD's isn't tight, it does crazy things to the engine. Happened on my '06 stang GT.

does it have a mass airflow on it? those can get out of range enough to run like crap, and still not throw codes. also, make sure theres no vacuum leaks anywhere.
 
thanks alot manny, ill check the cap tomm.
...definately no code at all, but...i did just find this....

TSB #052212 -- BUCK/JERK AND MISS DURING DRIVE CYCLE ABOVE 3000 RPM - NO DTC - 3.0L 2V GAS AND FFV ENGINE. *TT (NHTSA ID #10018746, NOVEMBER 14 2005)



but can't find any more info on it...


K204door...it does have a MAF sensor, and i unhooked it, and it didn't do anything, i figured maybe that would help it run better...but no code with it unhooked either.....hmmmm

88$PIT...ill have to look into it....
thanks guys!!!!
 
hmmm....wouldn't it run better when its unhooked????? if not, can it be cleaned or do i need a new one???? thanks ya'll.
 
Definitely don't unhook it, but you should be able to clean it. I forgot how we got ours cleaned, it was so long ago.
 
yeah, what im saying is...i unhooked it while hte truck was running, and then went to hit the gas and see if it would run better, and that didn't help at all...but ill try cleaning it to see what that does, couldn't hurt i recon'
thanks man

Of your Girlfriend:D:bow: Maybe somebody close can help you out by amusing your girlfriend while you swear at the furd:haha::haha::haha:
 
clean the maf with rubbing achohol and a q-tip, but be very careful not to damage the sensors, you will need to take the 2 tamperproof torx out to remove the sensor, then clean them, and when you unhook the maf, it will usually run bad, because the computer puts in a predetermined value when it doesn't see it. also, if it has a k+n air filter, if it has too much oil on it, it will contaminate the maf.
 
no codes at all....

and also, there's no K&N, but i did find an article on how to clean a MAF online, it says to use some electric cleaner spray stuff.

thanks ya'll.
 
well...i cleaned the MAF sensor, and nothing at all...it's progressivly getting worse too whatever it is.... if im at idle, in gear or not, and i turn the a/c on...it shakes the truck pretty good....but everything looks ok under the hood...and still no SES lights....would the fuel pump just **** out, or would it have symptoms like this???? thanks guys!

Scope time....maybe ignition....as in coils or plug wires?
 
post or PM me the vin please. I can look up TSBs from any computer with internet access.
 
nvm, forgot I could just run the TSB number.

Camshaft Synchronizer.

Not an exceptionally expensive item, but you kind of need a special service tool to install it, and its not so easy to come by.

Only diagnostic procedure requires a Ford scan tool so I can't help give you any tips.
 
hey sled dog....how did you come up with that???? is it off the TSB number i gave earlier...that is just something that i found online earlier...but it's kind of running like $hit at all RPM's...not just over 3k...runnin worse under 3k actually....ill have to check the egr, then change plugs/wires tomm and see where im at...thanks again ya'll...
