Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Thanks again for all the help guys. After running the truck around town it seems to have found a good idle, it is right between 500 and 900 and sounds alright so I'm pleased so far. The heater...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Yeah, the gauge seems that way but at least I'll be able to learn to read it. If it ever gets to the hot side I know my engine is probably engulfed in flames. I will take the belt off and check...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Nope. I haven't seen one since I got the truck back - come to think of it I have never seen one on this truck.

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

So, I burped the system because I couldn't find a thread on specifically the heater hoses themselves. I idled it and turned the air all the way to hot, the fan on high, and I pressed in the dial for...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Hey guys, don't worry I didn't drown in all this rain, the idle is sitting right at 800-900 and all the power seems to be there. In addition, whenever I start the truck I have to turn the key two or...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Thank you both for your help, it is definitely improved from where it was. The gauge is fine, I grounded the original pig tail but the elbow was cracked so I had to press the metal together. The...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Alright, so here we go with my findings. I did a fuel pressure test and when with the engine on the fuel pressure is 30 psi, when I remove the vacuum line to the FPR it goes up to 40 psi. The fuel...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

I don't have a fuel pressure gauge so I am not sure I can check the fuel pressure; however everything I have pulled out of that engine has been covered in either rust or grease and carbon so should I...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

That sounds like a good plan. Any idea regarding the idle not changing when I pull either of the sensors?

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Update: After calling mechanics today in regards to my oil gasket and drying my tears I degreased my oil pan in the hopes of pinpointing exactly where my leak was coming from while I tested the...

Re: 1990 2.3 High Idle and Drinking Gas

Thank you so much for your reply. I'll do everything you recommend when it stops raining everyday here. I may have gotten focused on phantom vacuum leaks and failed to think about the main sensors....

I recently got my 1990 Ranger back after giving it to my cousin to use to get to school and around town. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like he was maintaining it very well because a lot is wrong...
