Orifice

Need a picture or instructions on where the orifice is in my 2002 ranger truck w/2.3 engine extended cab.

I assume you're talking about the orifice tube for the AC system. It's inside one of the evaporator tubes. Follow the line that goes from the condenser to the evaporator. It's right where the line connects to the evaporator. If you disconnected that line, you would see the tip of the orifice tube inside the evaporator tube. You would take a pair of needle-nose pliers and carefully pull it straight out without twisting it at all (it will break if you twist it).

I hope it goes without saying that you need to remove all refrigerant before disconnecting any lines or doing any of this work. If anything I said sounds like Greek to you (like if you don't know what a condenser or evaporator is, or where they are in the engine bay), then leave this to a pro.

Oh yes I was talking about the ac, when looking for orifice. Thank you for replying. Hoping this will do the trick to fixing my air...........
