Stalling ford ranger
There are a few things to check, first make sure all sparkplugs ,plug wires are good, in other words make sure engine is running smooth, a misfire will cause the smell and stalling so make sure tune up is not the problem first.The next thing to check would be make sure air filter is good and throttle body is clean.clean the plate and body around the plate, the oxygen sensor can also cause this problem and is often forgotten about, the last would be the idle air control valve that control idle , there are more things that can cause your problem but start with these.The most common problem may be as simple as the coolant temp sensor, this sensor if giving the computer a false signal with wrong coolant temp then this will cause this problem also.A scan tool or multi- meter would help in testing the coolant temp sensor. hope this is helpful, good day.
Windshield Wiper Only Works On High
There is a wiper speed control module or governor behind the instrument cluster. You can check with the dealer on price and what it looks like. It controls everything but high speed.You should be able to do a circuit test on it to see if it is working. The low speed side of the motor may be bad too.
Running hot and shaking
the brakes could be hard from a lack of vacuum the rough running could be from a vacuum leak shaking could also be from a vacuum leak look under the look for a vacuum line off or split if you don't see anything when the engine is cold spark carb cleaner around and listen for a change in engine speed
How to clear code 118 and 224 on 1994 ranger
Ford Ranger/Explorer/Mountaineer 1991-1999
Clearing Codes
Print
CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES
These codes are retained in memory for 40 warm-up cycles. To clear the codes for the purposes of testing or confirming repair, perform the code reading procedure. When the fault codes begin to be displayed, de-activate the test by either disconnecting the jumper wire (meter, MIL or message center) or releasing the test button on the hand scanner. Stopping the test during code transmission will erase the Continuous Memory. Do not disconnect the negative battery cable to clear these codes; the Keep Alive memory will be cleared and a new code, 19, will be stored for loss of PCM power.
KEEP ALIVE MEMORY
The Keep Alive Memory (KAM) contains the adaptive factors used by the processor to compensate for component tolerances and wear. It should not be routinely cleared during diagnosis. If an emissions related part is replaced during repair, the KAM must be cleared. Failure to clear the KAM may cause severe driveability problems since the correction factor for the old component will be applied to the new component.
To clear the Keep Alive Memory, disconnect the negative battery cable for at least 5 minutes. After the memory is cleared and the battery reconnected, the vehicle must be driven at least 10 miles so that the processor may relearn the needed correction factors. The distance to be driven depends on the engine and vehicle, but all drives should include steady-throttle cruise on open roads. Certain driveability problems may be noted during the drive because the adaptive factors are not yet functioning
Can the brake and clutch pedals be extended
Larry have you tryed the seat up as far as you can the bench seats in rangers are sometimes difficult to more forward with out two people. The olny other thing i can tell you is to put a block on the cluch pedal the problem it you would likely have to disgin it and mount it your self i don't know of any company that offers this if you look you may find one but makeing the pedal longer isn't going to solve the problem it needs to be closer to your foot. Good luck Larry
No spark on a 94 ford ranger
The 1st thing you need to do is run a system fault code test on the computer control module, if you click
HERE you will find out how to do this using the check engine light flash code method.
How would i know if my cv joint is going bad on my
A two wheel drive ranger does not have any c.v. Joints.
It does have u joints in the rear drive shaft. Worn out u joints can cause vibrations at highway speeds, squeezing noises at low speeds, and in some cases a clunking noise when the transmiissin is placed in park or drive.
You can check them by pulling the drive shaft and ratting the joint. If it is stiff or loose than they are likely bad.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com! I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

How to fix a Lack of acceleration from stand still?
Start by checking the OBD1 fault codes with a code reader, then if nothing shows up check the fuel pressure, it should be 42-44 PSI, and it should go up when you race the engine for a second to about 50-52 pounds, up never down, if it goes down then you may have a plugged fuel filter or failing fuel pump. To check the codes without a scanner click this
