Ha! Apparently it has been kinda-broke for quite a while (measure in years). '94 Ranger 4.0L Splash, when I first bought it the truck had lots of power. The 4.0L is a kick ass engine. Then it had a overheating problem, and since then hasn't been 'quite right'. A couple weeks back it finally kicked the bucket, it would start and idle fine but try and drive and it would die.

Ends up it was the MAF sensor, and replacing that has returned it to its former glory (probably will get better gas milage as well).  Now I need to go for a drive someplace...


ETA: Time well spent trouble shooting it and $123 at NAPA.

Well done! The icing is that it was an easy fix once you found out what was wrong.

Yeah, I was expecting it to be a fuel system problem. I hate doing fuel filters, etc. I end up smelling like gas for a week.

Now if I can just find the place where water is leaking into the cab it will be almost like new.

My ranger had panel seams in the floor that were painted over by a glue type sealer. After it was in an accident the selaer cracked at the joint and road spray would soak the carpet.

Yep. The seals at the bottom of the door frame where it meets the floor panel had leaks, so I caulked them. One of the door bumpers is gone, so that got duct taped. I thought it might have been the back window originally, so I siliconed the hell out of it. But its still getting in from someplace else. I need to just sit inside and let the kids spray it with the hose :)
