I have read all the post on this matter and as a fleet mechanic with 50+ rangers I have a couple of questions for diagnosing purposes. First, When you are accelerating and holding it to the floor will the truck give you a sudden burst of power after around 2,000-2,500 RPM range? If so something to check is your Casmshaft Position Sensor. Try this to see if any improvement will occur. Take a can of carb cleaner and kneel down beside your drivers side front tire. You should see the cam sensor mounted on the block right behind the oil punp that is driven by the timing belt. Spray it down with the carb cleaner and see if it improves idleing immedietly.If so, you may have a seal leak in the oil pump causeing your problems.It sounds crazy but give it a try. Let us know the results.

WP120470. I thought only the 1994 2.3 CA trucks had the Cam sensor? Does he have a CA truck? he is in NC?

This was a question I raised at Autozone and other places to no avail. My truck is from Livonia MI, at least that's where the sticker says it was manufactured.

I was under the impression that my truck did not have a cam sensor because it is not a CA truck per Haynes Manual. And the trucks that do have the cam sensor I believe rely on that auxillary pully for "sense".

Here is a good link that I like to use only for reference on Ford parts which shows parts and related parts with some diagrams to help pinpoint their location. Enter vehicle information and choose category once you get in. I wouldn't sweat the crankshaft position sensor at this point. If after you replaced your ICM you still had problems then you would have to check into it. You clearly solved that problem so that's a non issue now.
