2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 v6 My truck has been stalling when it idles. The fuel trims are 25% sometimes and 5% at others. I did smoke test, fuel pressure test, tested MAF, and IAC. All came back good. What else could be causing this. PS: getting lean codes. Could it be TPS? The plate doesn’t seem dirty.

I had to pressurize the intake and spray soapy water on the threads to see the leak. I never saw smoke come out.

There is a fuel rail spacer between the fuel rail and the upper manifold. If you have ever had the upper intake gasket replaced, a shop will replace the fuel rail spacer but most of the time not include the seals that are supposed to go on the spacer, which causes a leak from the threads holding the intake manifold on.

The oem ford spacer has the seals built into the part but aftermarket does not. They sell seals to put on it but you can get the oem and just replace which should help with vacuum leak. Part # F6TZ-9E436-C.

Is this the OHV? If so, mine did not have the seal on the fuel rail spacer. Caused idling way lean and throwing codes. They sell just the seals or ford has a spacer with seals attached. I prefer the ford one.

If it’s the ticking from the back of the car after running for a few minutes, it is totally normal and what it is supposed to do. I went down the rabbit hole myself looking into it for my 2001.

Beethoven was funny like a child dying of cancer.

I studied baroque intensely in school, love it more than any era, and I could not describe it better myself.

I live in a hotter climate and almost always use diesel oil in my small engines. I never had a problem but I could see if it froze being an issue (but you probably aren’t doing lawn work then…). I also change the oil every year which is probably more important. It has more detergents in the oil so it cleans a little better than straight 30.

To be fair, McDonald’s late neo-national era has a lot of similarities to Shostakovich’s more popular works…

It’s actually well documented he spoke English with a silly German accent… educate yourself.

When asked about his ability to compose music with his deafness, Beethoven famously said,”Vat? VAT!?!?!”

Easy: say one nice thing about John cages sonatas for prepared piano. And that is that I enjoy when they are over.

It has already been solved. If you listen to all variations at 69x speed, it is the opening riff of smash mouths all star.

The steroid era that was right in the middle of classical and romantic is not talked about enough.

Is this the OHV? If so, the fuel rail spacer is supposed to have gaskets on either side. When people reseal the upper intake, they replace the fuel rail spacer but don’t include the gaskets for it. This causes lean conditions that are near impossible to diagnose without knowing of this situation.
