ok once again

still working on the 1998 ford ranger 2.5... now its got to the point where i cant even drive it anymore. its just runs like crap and has no power. Just replaced the up stream o2 and nothing. that's the only thing i could think of . and everything else that i have replace insearch of the answer...
both o2
fuel pump
tps
mass air flow
iac
and the only code it brings up is the iac over speed error. i ahve replaced it about 3 times thinking maybe i just got a bad one. so if anyone can think of anything im willing to try my 87 ford f150 aint to good on gas and i been having to drive it to work. i aint the kind of guy thats just takes it to the shop. never have problly never will. so thanks everyone.

Ignition Control Module! I'll give my left ******** if it is not.

You're gonna be pissed when you change it and it works, I sure was.

Are you talking about the ranger in your garage?

If so it might be that the truck is going uphill all the time, judging from the picture.

I had to replace my ICM (Ignition Contol Module) on my Bronco. Then I had to rebuild the distributor. Then the fuel pump went out. I haven't fixed that yet, but at least I know where it is. It's in the fuel tank.

Oh, By the Way, the ICM on my Bronco is on the distributor.

Maybe the local college has some auto classes?

Did you doo a compression check? It might be that the cam and valves aren't opening and closing correctly due to wear.

A '98 Ranger engine does not have a stand-alone ignition module; it has been incorporated into the PCM.

A few more things for you to consider:

I'll admit, I snarled my nose a bit due to a few of the comments. No big deal though, I'm over it.

One thing I was going to suggest is a Chilton's manual. You can usually find them at most part stores, but you may be able to find them cheaper on Amazon.
