Re: who all has rough idle in a 3.0?
Dezzer, this sounds like a classic case of something plugging the fuel pickup in the gas tank. All it takes is a little piece of crud, paper towel, piece of rag etc. The offending piece floats around...

Re: Teeny-weeny tiny rough idle
Search for the thread "who all has rough idle in 3.0" Basically, the 3.0s seem to have an annoying "almost but not quite" bad idle. Mine had it since new, had the dealer do all the checks. Couldn't...

Re: New guy Old problem...
Problem diagnosed and solved. I had the truck at the dealer for a trans service. After I picked it up, I stopped next to the dealer and turned off the engine to record the service in my log book....

Re: what provides power to the coil pack?
Skylark, I am having the same intermittent crank-no start problem as your friend. Diagnosing my truck is my first venture into working on computer controlled cars, so I have no authority to offer...

Re: who all has rough idle in a 3.0?
I purchased my 2002 Ranger with 3.0 new. I didn't like the idle from the beginning. Not really rough, but definitely not smooth either. The dealer did (or claims he did) whole bunch of stuff- motor...

Modelageek. Before I forget: Not a flexfuel engine. The plugs and wires are original. Nothing in the owners manual regarding changing plugs or wires at current age or miles. Maybe I should do it...

Re: New guy Old problem...
Modelageek: What is a KOER test? How do I do it? Can you suggest where I can get a tech manual online? I haven't had any luck finding anything other than very general info. No added on anti theft...
