Hope everyone is having a great weekend.


This vid shows what im talking about. 99 V6 ranger with 220,000 highway miles. Recent timing chain and gears but afterwards it ran really great for over 500 miles before it started with this.

Seems like it "pops" through the intake with almost every revolution, has absolutely no power. I've seen other high mile cars/trucks do this but never diagnosed the actual problem.

Would compression check be my next step? Head gasket? Cracked Head???

Any ideas much appreciated!
