Here are my symptons, gear heads please help...

k you need fuel and spark to make the truck run, you also have a host of sensors, so check simple stuff if it's still doing it, just take it in and get diagnosed, and then fix the prob your self. we could tell you all whole crap load of things you could R&R to maybe fix the prob. but with O2's CTS's MAF's MAP's and all the other electrical shit.it's hard to pinpoint your prob kinda sounds like a timeing concern. keep us posted

I would put a timming light on it, you mat have a tooth on the timing gear broke????

He'd be in a world of hurt if he skipped a tooth on the timeing chain

Drove it for about 40 miles last night.. and seems to be no problems..

We'll see how long it lasts..

So, it started cutting out.. and gas started filling the canister today.. and leaking out the big rubber hose that is on the evap canister.. SO.. I took the seal back out of the gastank that I put on for the first time the other day.. and it fixed the problem...

Now, my gastank is in my bed.. against the tailgate.. I have extended the fuel lines about 5 more feet than stock..

Could the lengthend fuel lines be causing problems for the purge from the motor going from the motor thru the evap canister and back into the tank? or is that how it works?

My Ranger has been doing that for a while now and it states a misfire in the #4 and I still cant figure it out.
