Elusive little devil isn't it? I wish I could recall off the top of my head whether it's in the same location in the '90s as the '80s... On those it was on the drivers side about 2" behind the timing belt cover and 1/2-2/3 of the way down the block. (and usually interfered with trying to get to the distributor bolt for timing.) If it's not there then look on the vacuum diagram under the hood; ought to give you a 'rough' idea where to look. I'll hope for one to come in the shop soon or a break from all this A/C work to snag the info from the AllData if no one else has a concrete answer by then. :-) Tim ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://webmail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ From: "Bob Leifer" Subject: Ranger mileage Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 08:14:29 -0400 Hi folks, I just replace my '97 Ranger standard cab 4x2 3.0 liter with short bed truck (was leased), with a 2000 Ranger 4X4 extended cab 4 door 4.0 liter with the off road package and 4.10 L/S rear (also leased). On the '97, I got only 14.5 mpg around town; sometimes up to 15 mpg, sometimes worse. My driving habits seem normal to me, but others in this group had told me they had done somewhat better. Now with this new truck, I would like to know what other members of this group average with a similar setup. I expect it to be worse than the '97 I had, but how much? I love the truck in every way; it's looks (Toreador Red), and the way it handles, plus the increase in power. Thanks, Bob Leifer ------------------------------ From: "Chris Oostveen" Subject: Re: Ranger mileage Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 08:45:30 -0400 I have an '88 with a 2.3. It is carbereted and it gets 18 mpg. I think I would be just as well to swap in a FI 302 from a Mustang. My old 5.0 LX got between 15 and 24 depending on driving habits (fairly stock BTW). I am thinking I will leave the rear end ratio at about 2.73 or 3.08, and just enjoy the added power. It would probably beat the smog test too, if we had them. Chris O.

I've looked, but no >luck. It's tricky because it's not in any of the usual places (valve cover, intake) and you can't really see it. It's at the back of the engine on the driver's side near the #4 plug. It's pressed into a hose that attaches to the intake manifold so it's not actually on the engine. I'm afraid I can't give any more specific directions because I don't have the engine for reference anymore. If you look around back there you'll find it. ~Dan 1950 F1 351C--chugchugchugchugchug 1998 Explorer--Wow, 59 more payments and it's mine...ugh.
