1994 Ford Ranger XLT from North America - Comments

I just bought a 1994 Ford Ranger 4.0L 4x4 with automatic transmission. The truck was missing bad when I bought it and the engine light was coming on. The previous owner did several things to try to fix this. New plugs, wires, coil pack, fuel filter pcv valve. I put a can of Gum-out in it along with 5 gallons of premium gasoline. (the tank was under a 1/4 full when I did this). I started it at the pump and it stalled. It had never stalled prior to this. I re-started it, kept it going and nailed it out of the gas station and it cleared itself right out and ran like new for about 500 miles. Now it has started to miss again, but not nearly as bad. It will rev up and run good when in neutral, but when I start down the road and give it more gas it seems like it just shuts down. I let off the gas pedal for about 2 seconds and give it gas again and it will run great for about 3-4 seconds and then shut down again until I let off. I can keep it going like this all day, but when I hold the gas pedal steady it just keeps cutting out every few seconds. If anyone can help diagnose this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Please email with any suggestions. Thanks so much. drinkmillerbeer@yahoo.com.

Can anyone help me out on this? I have a 94 ranger that I bought brand new, it only has 63,000 miles on it and everything is running great. Here is my problem. When I turn my headlights on, my turn signal lights stay on in the back! I already changed the headlight switch and that wasn't it. When my headlights are off everything is normal. Do you think it might be my turn signal switch or a wire problem? If anyone has an idea please let me know thanks

I have a 94 ranger with a gas gauge prob, it don't work at all

it came on once be for when I was off roading then when I shut the truck of and turned it back on it stopped working again. I can over flow the tank and it still not work. whats up? ben_allen_gray@yahoo.com.

I also have a 94 Ford Ranger now with engine knock. Tough little truck, I work it hard.

250,000km, changed plugs and used every cleaner out there, have changed the MAF sensor several times, it is the only problem that shows up on the diagnostics, but has not solved the problem. My mechanic and I are stumped. Stopped using synthetic oil because it dropped my rpms to much and made the problem worse. I have an intake manifold leak, could this be my source?

Have a 1997 Ranger with a 4 liter engine. Ran fine for a year and now it has started to pulsate; it revs up and then dies down. It will run like this for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then stalls.

Any idea how to fix this?

Also, can anyone tell me where to find the MAF sensor on this engine.

Please, if anyone can answer any of these questions, please email amosjk@sympatico.ca
