Has anyone had this happen? I come to a stop and sometimes (not all the time), my engine feels like it wants to die. I know these trucks idle low and a little rough, but this has happened a couple of times lately. It kept running though. The light turned green and then I hammered. Runs great only at a stop it seems weird. Any suggestions? Oh and it happens with and without AC on…

2003 Ranger XLT, 3.0, 2wd, auto w/OD, stock.

 

I hvae had some problems like that with my truck, It had something to do with the transmission.

 

What was the issue with the transmission?

 

I honestly don't remember, I have had my trans. overhauled 3x in 2 yrs. I don't remember which time it was to look up what was wrong with it.

 

that actually has happened to me before on my 4.0.... just once about a month ago... try putting some fuel injector cleaner at your next fillup.... once i did that, i havent had to problem again... and the truck runs great

 

Yeah, mine will do that every now and then... I just get used to it.

 

mine does something like that...the ohter day it acted like it was a standard (its a auto) but what i mean by it acted like a standar i applied the brake and it kind started shaking a little and then died like it was more of a vibrating....any one know what that could be???

 

mines done that a few as well but my has actually died coming to a stop

 

mine used to stall all the time if i was driving and threw it in N. After i changed the fuel pump it seems a lot more stronger and doesnt do it anymore.

 

Try cleaning your IAC. (Idle Air Control valve)

That would be my first step.
If that works, good. If it works for "a while", then starts doing it again, replace the IAC.

 

That would be your Vaccum Line, it didn't shut when you started up the truck, so it is suckin in the air and that is why you are getting the vibration! Had mine replaced 4 times under warranty when I first got the truck.

 

?

There are several vaccum lines on the trucks... It may have a bad brake booster...

 

haha..I'm just saying, check the vaccum lines, that is what was causin my truck to vibrate alot when sittin there. I wouldn't be able to pin point which one, but if it is doin the same thing like mine was, then I would be givin him a def place to look first though..

 

i have that problem when i put it in park
