Re: 2000 4.0 runs rough and vibrates at 50mph

My truck did something similar after it burned a valve. Got no compression on one of the cylinders. Shook like a salt shaker at idle, and gurgling at 4th gear. Forget about getting up a hill in...

Re: Coolant Leak - Heater Core?

The damn thing probably needs to be replaced anyway--God knows I routinely abused my poor baby until quite recently (along with subsequent engine replacement). Everyone should take a basic engine...

Re: Coolant Leak - Heater Core?

This is from an F-150, but it looks exactly the same. It's on the passenger's side firewall below the A/C.

Note it's not just "leaking." The...

Re: Ranger 3.0 spark plug how to?

I meant the reasoning behind designing it so that was necessary, but you answered that. FWD? You'd think the engineers could a least think of a way to make it less labor intensive.

Coolant Leak - Heater Core?

Hey guys,

So I finally got the truck started up - turns out it was a timing issue all along...ugh.

Anyway...the engine's running, but now a valve beneath the A/C heater on the firewall is...

Re: Ranger 3.0 spark plug how to?

The A/C has been the bane of my existence for any work on the passenger's side.

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

I'm having the most sincere bad luck.

So I'm trying to run a fuel pressure test just to eliminate that as the problem, and the gauge is reading zero. Now, I'm not sure how this is possible since...

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

I tested the left bank of the fuel injectors today and all three of them are pulsing. I'll test the right ones tomorrow (they're under the upper intake, and I didn't have time) but even if they're...

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

Perfect.

I'm not sure which I'm hoping for, to be honest. Part of me wants them clogged because even though that's probably a lot more work, it's at least something I understand. But electrical...

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

Is there a way to do this without purchasing a device I don't have the money for?

Also, the were pretty exposed to the elements for a good three months there - under a shed but still out in the...

Re: reliability?

Had a 3.0 my entire driving life (this would be from about 2005. Had no problems with it that I didn't cause - treated the damn thing like garbage, really. It finally burned a valve and after looking...

Re: Clanging when starting, Help!

Oil problem, maybe? Especially considering it runs fine when the temp increases.

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

Okay so I replaced the gas and diluted what was in there to the point that I'm confident bad gas isn't the issue. Which leaves the fuel injectors themselves. Any advice on the easiest way to clean...

Yeah, that's what I figured. Siphoning's the way to go.

Re: Here's a New One: Starting Problems

Thanks for the reply. Does this ground plug into anything? I don't recall anything like that when I took the engine out, though I could have just missed it.

Here's a New One: Starting Problems

Hey Guys,

Hate to be that person that begs for advice on his first post, but I've looked over the internet and I haven't found a situation that quite lines up to what I'm dealing with.
