How to install throttle body 92 fordranger2.3 l

From your description I don't know if replacing the throttle body is necessary. Replacing the engine (Long block) does require the throttle body to be removed from the old engine and installed onto the new. The housing is aluminum. Because of its age I would highly recommend rebuilding the unit before installing. If the engine is still running I would observe injector spray patterns and check for leaks. If the there is any doubt or question then price out both injectors and seal kit. If the rebuild goes wrong then a new throttle body would be needed. Another way you are protecting your investment. Any questions please feel free to write back. Good luck.

Usually dirty or bad throttle body. You need a scan tool to perform a throttle body relearn after cleaning or replacement. If you don't have a scan tool, don't do this one yourself.

Yes its that easy, just make sure you engage the notch on it to the throttle body shaft. You may have to roll it past the screw holes to engage the notch. Then holding it in place on the throttle body, just roll it back to where the holes line up for the screws. Do not over tighten the screws

o2 sensors, depending on the year distributor cap and or rotor, coil packs...

If the compression is not right, it could be the timing belt.
If you have compression and spark to the plugs, it should start on carb cleaner sprayed into the throttle body.

I dont know what you need a bolt pattern for exactly, usually you just need to locate the starter. Disconnect all the wires from it, noting their locations, and unbolt the bolts and it should come right out.

the bolt hole pattern on a 92 is a 4 lug pattern and a 2004 is a 5 hole pattern. they will not fit.
