Truck Stalling
1995 Ford Ranger 4x4, I recently had a new muffler put on and the transmission filter and fluid changed aslo the oil was changed and new front rotors were put on. ever since i got it back from the garage it has been stalling. Mostly whenever it rains out side is when the problem is the worst. After sitting there reving it up for about 15 minutes it will run fine all day long. i thought maybe there was water in the gas so i ran it almost out and filled it up and i thought it was better but it rained and i had trouble again any idea's please. ps Before i took it to the garage to have all the work done on it , it never stalled before.

Hmm...that's an odd one indeed. Is it a coughing stall like it coughs, idles low, then stalls out, or does it just randomly die?

any obvious leaks in your fuel tank? What about the fuel filter, when's the last time it was replaced?

I have a 95 Ranger also. Same problem and only on warm up. I had some cracked vacumn hoses. The crack were in the bends as they attached to the top of the engine. I used bome black tape on them till I could change them. It worked imediately. Mine were cracked when I was changing the air filter.

If you have a distributor cap, pull it off after you drive it and let the distributor air out. Then spraythe inside of the cap with WD-40 (WD stands for water displacing)
Sounds like you have a condensation problem that goes away after the dist gets hot enough to vaporize the water.

I dont have a distributor cap, but that would make total sence.

What do you mean it "kinda looks right"? Does it look like brand new oil? I'm starting to think maybe something's in it. An exhaust mod isn't going to hurt it. Is it a stock muffler they put on? If it's doing it in park or neutral it's probably not the tranny, either.
