Top 10 1999 Ford Ranger SuperCab Questions & Answers

I have had this happen with my ranger. Changed everything I could to try to fix the over heating. It turned out that I had a small leak in my head gasket and it was allowing exsaust gas to go into the cooling system witch was over pressurizing it. Also the air from the exsaust will heat up much faster than liquid making your thermostat to read hot and will not be able to blow hot air in the cab because there is no liquid going to the heater core. This happened to me when my blet came off and I tryed to make it home. If you had it over heat for a long peirod of time it may have ripped the head gasket.

Code 27 is a problem passenger airbag disconnect switch. Usual caused by the bulb next to the passenger airbag on/off key being burned out. Check out this website for instructions on replacing it, you have to solder in a new bulb or replace the whole switch assembly. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t72315.html

This will occur if the control solenoids that are located inside the pan on the valve body, are malfunctioning. First, i would check the fluid level. if the fluid level is proper, have the tranny flushed and change the filter as well. If this doesn't fix the issue, go ahead and replace the control solenoids.

If NOT PARK BRAKE & / or Cables , THE BRAKE HOSE (RUBBER) from body to Axel can Fail on the INSIDE in a Way that it HOLDS Brake Fluid IN the Rear Axel (LINES) "STEAL" It sounds Strange But in My 30 years I have seen this MOSTLY on Front (Rubber) Hoses But also A Number of times, if you Crack it Loose on the AXEL side (Just After Semi HARD APPLYING of BRAKE) and it Drains Fluid FAST this is your Problem. Only OTHER Item Involved to HOLD BOTH WHEELS is> As I Said the PARK BRAKE MECHANISM & / OR CABLES.

Rotate the engine so that No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. Check that the timing marks are aligned on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys. An access plug is provided in the cam belt cover so that the camshaft timing can be checked without removal of the cover or any other parts. Set the crankshaft to TDC by aligning the timing mark on the crank pulley with the TDC mark on the belt cover. Look through the access hole in the belt cover to make sure that the timing mark on the cam drive sprocket is lined up with the pointer on the inner belt cover.

1. Loosen the alternator retaining bolts and remove the drive belt from the pulleys. Remove the water pump pulley.
2. Loosen and position the power steering pump mounting bracket and position it aside.
3. Remove the four timing belt outer cover retaining bolts and remove the cover. Remove the crankshaft pulley and belt guide.
4. Loosen the belt tensioner pulley assembly, then position a camshaft belt adjuster tool (T74P-6254-A or equivalent) on the tension spring rollpin and retract the belt tensioner away from the timing belt. Tighten the adjustment bolt to lock the tensioner in the retracted position.
5. Remove the timing belt.

1. Install the new belt over the crankshaft sprocket and then counterclockwise over the auxiliary and camshaft sprockets, making sure the lugs on the belt properly engage the sprocket teeth on the pulleys. Be careful not to rotate the pulleys when installing the belt.
2. Release the timing belt tensioner pulley, allowing the tensioner to take up the belt slack. If the spring does not have enough tension to move the roller against the belt (belt hangs loose), it might be necessary to manually push the roller against the belt and tighten the bolt.

1. Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns by hand (in the normal direction of rotation) to remove the slack from the belt, then tighten the tensioner adjustment and pivot bolts to specifications. Refer to the necessary illustrations. Make sure the belt is seated properly on the pulleys and that the timing marks are still in alignment when No. 1 cylinder is again at TDC/compression.
2. Install the crankshaft pulley and belt guide.
3. Install the timing belt cover.
4. Install the water pump pulley and fan blades. Install upper radiator hose if necessary. Refill the cooling system.
5. Position the alternator and drive belts, then adjust and tighten it to specifications.
6. Start the engine and check the ignition timing. Adjust the timing, if necessary.

passive anti theft wont let me start my 1999 ranger ? how do Ifix it

the other link didn't work for me so I've found and posted this one. there are manuals from '96-2011 the diagram is in there around P. 140

More important than the length is the routing of the wires to reduce chances of cross-feeding of the ignition pulse into another wire.
Don't know if any place shows the routing of the plug wires.. You may need to look at another engine like yours to see how the wires are routed and which length wire goes where. Good luck.
