Gang - I just got a 2.9l ranger and it is a dog on the highway. peppy around town, but I'm in forth trying to keep it above 55 mph. I understand that the best way to improve the performance of the 2.9 is to replace it, but the motor is sound. I don't know much about forced induction...

I haven't had time to look into the problem yet but here is what is happening. On acceleration the RPMS stay high after I take my foot off the accelerator, as though cruise control is on. Tapping the pedal lightly will bring the rpms back down to idle almost like there is a mechanical problem...

I am on the hunt for a a passenger seat belt for my 89 gray interior convertible. 50resto has a full kit, but I can't get just the one also the buckles don't match my stock ones. I've been on the junk yard hunt for years and ebay doesn't come up with results too often. Any suggestions? I'd...

the resistance was nominal, but I separated the the upper manifold again and wouldn't you know it? Upon reassembly she fired right up and is running better than ever. Have no clue what it could have been except for maybe a stupid hose not on snug enough. Thanks for your help - I've learned a...

I have a code reader and I pulled code 34 which is something thats been coming up for months. I swapped out the EGR sensor two months ago and today I went ahead and got a new EGR assembly. Still came up with 34 which i'm bummed out about, but not overly concerned with because I haven't been...

how about the EGR as a culprit? I took off the unit and found that the diaphragm doesn't hold the vacuum. So if it lets air pass through it when it isn't supposed to that could be a/the problem right? The vacuum system looks solid, no cracks, pinches or loose fittings. I also confirmed...

Fanatics - The smoke must have been antifreeze on the block because it hasn't returned. Moving forward with today's crisis: IAC unplugged - seems to run fine if a little rough. fires right up and idles well at 725 +/-. IAC Plugged in - fires up and dies. proper voltage is...

with the idle air control valve plugged in I can keep it alive with the throttle, but there is a popping coming from the engine room. Otherwise with the IAC plugged in she just fires up like a champ and dies immediately like the ignition is off.

Gents - I had to replace the valve cover gaskets and in doing so I obviously yanked off the upper intake manifold. Upon reassembly she wouldn't hold idle and stalled out almost immediately. Code 34, EGR voltage low is the only thing that came up and I've had that code for a while with...

ditch the wing and I think its bad ass wonkey, like Dog's mullet.

I've had this deck in my car for about five years and all of the sudden the left channel went out. The two dash speakers are wired through the deck and both of them are still fine, but the other four speakers are run by two independent amps, one from front and one for back. The left side on...

Gang - I must have over torqued my valve covers a while back because they are clearly leaking a bit. I am visiting some friends in Portland and don't have my shop manual but there are a lot of tools. What is the proper torque setting? I have reusable gaskets, would having over torqued...

thanks a ton - I had read this once, but I couldn't find it again. Great stuff.

something else occurred to me too. the exhaust smells really rich, like hot popcorn rich.

Team - It all started with a battery change... I guess the computer forgot how to keep the engine going when I had the battery out. The first few times I started it she would just die right away which is the norm (see my sig for the basic few upgrades). But she kept stalling for like...

Bravo!
