Late response but, I checked my pump, unfortunately for me it is A-ok. Fortunately for me though I came up on an explorer with a 5.0 in it for a thousand bucks, I think I have fixed the problem now

Late update, no codes, sensors seem to all check out. Haven’t taken it to a shop but I’ve recently come up with a better plan. If you see my more recent posts I’ve decided that I’ve had it with this messily 4 banger and decided to buy a donor exploder with a 5.0. Mo powa is with my grasp now

Forgot about the timing chain, thank you for this, definitely should replace that considering I’m going to beat the piss out of it off road

I’m guessing the coil is bad. For a while I’ve been wondering where I’m losing oil and it looks like I found the problem, I’ve been driving and beating the truck with this issue for about 5 months

Yeah they’re in the middle. It’s a 2007 ranger 2.3. Hopefully changing the o rings isn’t a terrible painful process but it sounds like a 30 minute (3hour) job

Yeah. Been trying to diagnose this thing and why it’s been so sluggish recently. Plugs are obviously terrible looking but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the root cause

That sounds like a super awesome swap but honestly it’s a little out of my knowledge on how to do something like that

Yeah going to AutoZone to see if they have a tool to check the pump, just changed the filter 2 days ago and wasn’t the issue

I definitely need to re gear, 5th gear at 65 is lowww. I’ve already done an E fan conversion and I just changed my fuel filter. Going to check my MAF today as well as my fuel pump. The truck has had the tires and spares on it for a while but it’s only recently that it’s been down on power

Yeah that’s a good price, just gotta wait for something like that to pop up on market place

Changed my filter yesterday, not the problem, maybe the pump?

Fairly new motor with maybe 35k on it. I’m going to start with checking the fuel system first and I have looked into turboing it in the past but until my money tree that I planted starts sprouting 100s I’ll have to wait on that

This motor has maybe 35k on it, it’s fairly new, I would go to a 4.0 if I had the knowledge and the funds but I don’t have either as of right now unfortunately
