Looking to ask a question on the Ranger-Forums.com? One of the first things you can do so that others are can assist you in answering any questions is to list your specs / details in your signature.

For example, set your signature with year / make / model / drivetrain etc.

The more full signatures people see, the more likely they are to also create their own.

 

so foolish you are.



Where are your mind reading capabilities? You're supposed to be able to solve his issue. We are all ranger guru's here. The light will soon shine upon you, no worries.

To the original post:
For starters, get the truck out from under your skin. Air quality isn't too good there, might have a bad fuel to air mix.

 

ok how can i fix it ive bin f***in with the idle screw like crazy

 

Sorry Mike , I'm a little off today.

Channeling now...................


Nope , I get nothing.
Perhaps the OP would be so kind as to enlighten me on the YEAR , MODEL , And ENGINE he is trying to repair here.

 

its a 84 ranger 2.8 v6

 

Check /recheck all the vacuum lines .It only takes one with a crack in it throw off the idle.
Is it running rich ? Tap the side of the fuel bowl on the carb with a screwdriver handle , the float may be sticking and holding the inlet needle open.
Has the truck been sitting for a couple months with gas containing ethanol in it ?
That will ruin a carb and it may need replacing or at least rebuilding.

 

whats your carb look like? clean?

 

nice timing Ken. guess your answer is a little more detailed than mine.

 

well the original carb i had to take off so i got one from a 85 250 that was the closest one i could get for cheap

 

I bet the 250 had a V8 engine ?
For a V6 you'll have to re-jet.

 

ok so the jets are too big?

 

well ive bin working alot lately gonna be getting a nice sized check soon so im gonna say screw it & get a new carb....but the electrical drain is probly still gonna be there & be a pain in the ***
