2.3 or 2.5 ?
Hey guys , I just picked up a 03 ford ranger . I am loving it .
I drove all over the state the other day and still have half a tank left .
hehe
but it does feel pretty slow , like , I am holding up traffic slow.
Anyway . this truck supposedly has a swapped engine in it .
So the body is a 2003 with a 2001 ranger motor ....
How can I identify exactly which engine it is ???
What are the plastic tanks for the hang off the intake??
Are simple mods worth doing on these things?

I just read the whole thread, In order for someone to swap from the newer 2.3 to the older 2.5 the entire wiring harness would have to be swapped.
I'm going to say someone put another 2.3L in it and you just need a tuneup.
As far as it being sluggish, Your driving a four cylinder pickup truck not a sports car.

yep
yeah thanks guys , after further review , it must be the the 2.3 .
I was reading about the engine change, it got me wondering , but it is definitely the 2.3 .
the stock intake tube has these 2 funny air tanks (small ones near the batterry side) hanging off it. I will probably get rid of them, as the seem to be useless, and add some kinda cold air intake.
Yep probably just a little sluggish , but I cant say that it running all that bad ...I am a little spots car biased
Is there a beneficial coil, wire plug replacement out there?
what code reader can be used on these trucks?
Oh man , I am gonna hook it up , hehehe
