Rough idle and start/sluggish acceleration 94 Ranger 2.3 L
Rough idle and start/sluggish acceleration 94 Ranger 2.3 L
Hello every body, this is my first post. I’m going to preface this by saying that I don’t know that much about mechanic work but am really enjoying learning and trying to figure things out.
I’ve had my ranger for a little over a year, 4 cylinder 2.3 L manual with 130,000 miles. It’s always started rough but has some new things going on with rough idle. Acceleration has always been not great but is getting worse. It will also try to die at times while idling. Usually after trying to die, it will run reeeally rough until I can get it to a high enough RPM and then it seems to work itself out.
Here’s a list of things that I’ve replaced myself or had a mechanic diagnose and fix that may or may not be helpful to know:
fuel pump, fuel injectors, fuel filter, spark plugs, temp sending unit, ICM, exhaust manifold, timing belt, water pump, maybe a handful of small things that I’m forgetting.
I hope someone may have some suggestions and thank you in advance!!
