Problem with the 2001 Ranger

I've just learned from my local Ford dealer that the 2001 Rangers have an intermittant skipping problem that Ford has not been able to figure out yet.

Mine has it. It's the 3.0 version.

They told me there may be a recall when they finally find the problem.

Just thought I'd let everybody know.

What do you mean by skipping?

People who say it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

Problem with the 2001 Ranger

The engine misfires when under a load,such as going up a long hill or hauling something.

The fact that Ford knows about the problem, but does'nt know what the fix is yet, was told to me by my Ford Service Manager.

Just letting you know what I was told.

Yeah, I've got an '01 4.0 that does it when the engine is cold and seems to disappear after a warm up, or so it seems. Have to keep an eye on it.

I have the 3.0 also and have found that mine does rarely does it right after filling 'er up with some go juice. Also sometime when crusing at low rpm's in 4th and 5th.
