Cleaned My engine
Well the inside any way. I seafoamed it. It idles smoother now. I had good amount of smoke not too bad. Not like the time when I did it with my 88 BroncoII that had 300,000 miles. The ranger had 90,000. I also did it on my wifes Sebring that has 70,000. I got almost no smoke with her car but it is quieter at idle now.

so what all is involved in sea foaming it?
After I re-installed the brake booster line, I drove the **** out of mine for about ten minutes and it ran oh so nice. That was with 56k miles.

https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...nt=21.....copy this link and look at the pictures. You will need a pair of needle nose pliers or channel locks..or what ever you want to use....pull the ring off the line going to the brake booster and then pull on it and it will come right off..hope this helps...sorry i couldnt think of everythings name..its 7:00 here so i'm still asleep

^^^That link is no good, please try again
can anyone answer this...
Let me verify the steps...
1. Buy seafoam
2. Turn off engine
3. Disconnect hose from brake booster
4. Turn on engine and then let it suck up 1/3 of bottle
5. Turn off engine and let it sit for 20 minutes
6. Turn on engine and let smoke out
7. Drive slowly around until it goes back normal
Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Thanks!!

warm motor up or cold it doesnt matter,
1. With vehicle off pull brake booster and put thumb over the hole and have someone start the vehicle.
2. I find it easy to pour 1/3-1/2 the can in a lil tupperware dish and stick the hose with finger still on it slowly letting it "sip" the seafoam or let it suck it all at once.
3. After its all gone turn the motor off wait the recommended 15 minutes and while waiting I like to spray seafoam on the walls of the throttlebody (BUT NOT MUCH! you can vaporlock the motor I hear from too much!)
4. After sitting for 15 min start it up letting it idle for a bit then go run the **** out of it if you choose ( I do when I do it)
5. It should smoke like crazy and now you put the rest of the can of seafoam in your gas!
