Re: 2004-2006 TSB (P0300-P0306 and P0316)

Yea, I went ahead and ordered new heads. Hopefully I'll finish everything up this weekend and have it running good as new.

Need manifolds, where to buy??

So I'm looking to replace my manifolds on a 2003 3.0 ranger. Problem is, I can't find them anywhere. Local auto part stores don't have them, Rock Auto only has driver side, and Summit doesn't have...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Yea, I actually have it saved already. Searched yesterday and found it. Plan on referencing it while I tackle this. The pics are life savers.

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Good point. I'll add the oil and filter to the list.

Kind of bummed about the exhaust though. I know its going to cause problems. It's pretty rusty and I know some bolts are going to break. I...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Why the oil and filter? Recently changed. Does it need to be drained since I'm taking all that stuff off?


For the intake gasket, I'm pretty sure the kit I bought comes with it. I bought it from...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Yea, I pretty much figured that last week, just didn't want to admit it. Just went ahead and ordered heads for it. Should be here Friday, then the process of switching them out.

Any advice from...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Got a compression test done. Showing low compression on 5. So is it save to say it's the heads, or could it still just be the head gasket?

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Yea, I think I'm going to just break down and get a new head for that side. Nothing else seems to be doing anything. Found some online for 2-3 hundred.

Just not sure how difficult it is going to...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

I looked at the two vacuum lines I could fine. Didn't see any holes. Gonna spray with carb cleaner later to see if I missed one. I would just buy new hoses, but not sure which ones to get.

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

I changed the one that was showing misfire, along with 4 and 6. Think 1-3 are causing this?

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Ok, so today I changed out the fuel injectors for 4, 5, 6. Number 5 was the one showing misfire, but figured since I had the manifold off, I'd get the others.

When I start up, it still hopes into...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Do you remember the codes? Was it showing a misfire on a cylinder with the codes? Or just running like crap with random codes?

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Here's another thing to stump you all. Or, at least it's stumping me.

So truck has been running like crap. Stumbling under 2k rpms, shakes your teeth out at 1500 and under. Went to fill it up b/c...

Re: 2004-2006 TSB (P0300-P0306 and P0316)

I know this is old, sorry for the bump.

So if you have this problem it isn't covered by anything is it, if your warranty has expired?

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Where exactly are the vacuum lines on these? I have the basic skills to turn a wrench, just need to be pointed in the right direction :D.

Yea, the exhaust is pretty rusty looking, and currently...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Ran the codes and this is what popped up.

P0316 Misfire on startup/ low rpms (under 1000) and the lights CAT, O2, HTR, EVA were flashing on the code reader.

P0305 Misfire cylinder 5, with...

Re: Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Ok, so this past weekend I changed the coil pack, IAC, PCV, TPS, and cleaned the throttle body. Truck is definitely running better, but still hard to start and shakes in first and second with low...

Misfire, any suggestions what to try next?

Ok, I have a 2003 3.0 with 110,000 on the clock. Truck is tough to start, and has a mean shake at start up too. Idles around 600 rpm at start up, just on the verge of dieing it seems. Stays pretty...
