86 ranger stalls when put into gear
Hey there everyone this is my first post on here and I was hoping that someone could give me some help on a problem that I'm having. I have a 1986 ford ranger with the 2.3L 4 cylinder and she was running great for about a week and a half after I got her and than all of the sudden one day she stalled out on me at a light and when I went to start her back up she starts just fine but then the minute I drop her into gear she stalls out and looses power. I replaced the iac already thinking that could be the problem but she still stalls out everytime I put her into any gear but park and neutral. This is my first ranger so I don't know much about the motor and I could really use some help trying to diagnose the problem as she is my daily driver and currently sits in my drive way now :( any help would be awesome. Thanks.

It could be the torque convertor has gone bad, and isn't slipping like it should, kinda like pulling up to a stop light with a manual, and forgetting to push the clutch down.

Yeah sounds like torque converter locking up. Hack the rearend up and put it on jack stands with tires off the ground. Put the truck in gear. See if it stays running. If it does, hit the brakes so the tires stop. If the tires stop and the truck dies. Your torque converter is no longer working. Need to pull the trans and get a new converter and install it. If that is what is wrong, nothing wrong with the motor. It's the transmission causing it.

---------- If it will sit and run fine in park or neutral, and die in gear, It is 99.99% likely the torque converter is locked up. |
