Re: Hesitation/ping on slight hill

Re: new tool set for this guy :)

Nice tools Tim Taylor! But when it comes to the ranger you'll only need the 4.5mm, 10mm, 13mm and the 13/16sae socket. A crescent wrench works for everything else.... lol

Re: Egr valve

Have the codes reset. Advance Auto Parts, Autozone or O'Reiley's will do it for no charge.

Re: Hesitation/ping on slight hill

I know of only a couple things that will cause pinging. And from what I read it should have been cleared up with the Sea Foam you did. Normally it is excessive carbon build up. But I seem to remember...

Re: 2000 3.0 overheats sometimes, fine other times

My first thoughts on this is making sure the bleed hole on the thermostat faces the engine block. My second thought would that it might have been air locked. I usually leave off the radiator cap...

Re: First CEL ever after...getting new tires???

My guess is the quality of the gas may have been bad and it caused my sensor to register a CEL. Just a coincidence that it happened right after I picked up the truck from getting new tires. Now I...

Re: Ugly idle

Have you examined your camshaft synchronizer sensor? Take it off and look down inside to see if it is damaged.

Re: 2003 Ranger 3.0L Engine misses and hesitates at 4000 rpms when accelerating.

I too have recently had the dreaded can't get over 3,000 RPM problem. I thought it might have been a fuel filter issue and changed it. But still had the same problem. And then there was that stupid...
