Hey there engc570 and welcome to FTE!
You may want to check your carb settings. Sounds like you're running a little rich. Have you done a tune-up lately, or had a timing problem. Maybe a stretched timing belt?
Check your repair manual under trouble shooting, and see what it suggest's to do.
Get back to us ok? Thanks.... Talk to you later....

Well I found out today that they (Ford) do not make an EGR for the 1988 2.0 Ranger anymore.I checked the dealer,Auto Zone,Napa,O'Reilly,Car-Quest,and a few mom and pop shops.(BOOO HOOO) I thinking of engin swap for the Danger Ranger.
EGR Part # is E87E-9H495-B3A just in case anyone needs the # in the future.I'll keeep everyone posted on the project.

Hey there engc570! Way to go! I like being right, but I'd rather you get the problem fixed and me be wrong, and you still having a problem. Good work and even better for not giving up!
Talk with you later..... Thanks to Ken as well!
