93 ranger backfires
my 93 ford ranger is backfiring at low idle and slow take off .. high rev and she runs fine
ive changed the plug wires a couple of days ago because of sparking while i looked at the engine at nite time i changed the fuel filter also a day ago put on scanner and gave me codes 157 and 116 ive taken care of the truck engine wise changed oil every 2500 miles changed timing belt every 60,000 miles changed plugs every 60,000 miles has a clean air filter also have changed fuel pump and injectors could it be the mafs or the coil packs or cam lobes |
Check spark plug wires for correct installation.

i am also posting this at the rangerstation.com This has been doing this for about a month now At idle and slow take off Added 4 cans of dry gas in the last 2 weeks Replaced plug wires because of sparks 5 days ago Triple checked wires to plugs for correct connections Replaced fuel filter 3 days ago Ran a code scanner today after clearing a 116 and a mass airflow sensor code Got no codes after 2 mile test drive Also last night i pulled the battery connectors and the {ecm connector}, after the battery so no shorts to ecm When i put code reader on ranger the temperture guage works when i run koer tests Still runs rought at idle I have about 60,000 miles on plugs so i am going to change soon but i pulled them and they are all getting spark from coils and they are tan to grey in uniform color {all plugs} During the warmup before the testdrive my temperture gauge worked right for the first time in 7 years I also am still playing with the number 4 plug wire on drivers side just to make sure it seated so i left it off during the warmup After i hooked up the number 4 wire the temperture dropped down to where it was before I sprayed carb cleaner and compressed air in the temp gauge connection in the motor compartment and the ecm connection { with battery diconnected} I have alot of corrosion on alot of engine connection and have been cleaning all that i have seen for last year Another question? if i pull the vaccum line off of the egr canister should there be a lot of vaccum i dont feel anything from the cannister or the vaccum line Still runs rough at idle but not when high revs |
