Hello! Solved my misfire with a 2 dollar pcv valve. Dang guy what a life saver I had replaced tones. Thanks my guy!!!!! Was getting ready to do crank sensor it's a 6 hrs job! This fixed it omg thanks bro.
@@moseschickenwater5861it sounds like they took out the internal plug in the pcv. So then it would be sucking oil up when you go over bumps. It needs the little shaking plug so oil doesn't go up. Just air.
@@sasquatchrosefarts I think it was so old there was nothing left inside! Yes it was sucking up oil to the intake. I replaced with new. It runs like new now.
Thank you so much for this video and for leaving a impact on mine I will be sharing your videos because you are a real person ,thanks again my ranger bro
i have the exact same color truck and year , not many that i have seen . mine is having a bad miss and wouldnt it figure i have my nissan sentra taken apart waiting for a new right axle to get here
Where exactly did u put the berrymans cleaner? I think my ranger has a valve issue. Keeps having a misfire, bout to buy a compression tester. U said u sprayed/poured 5 shots directly into the oil cap/motor in ur video? Not through the vacuum line?
I've replaced all kinds of things but a couple times a week it almost wants to die out at idle/driving low speed. Just trying everything before I pull the head off. 2.3l
Hey I have a 94 range and it is misfiring when I give it gas and does it once in a wile with just idling I change the fuel filter and checked my plugs and hand the air conditioner thang but was not sore if the valve you are talking about is in the same place
Check your ignition wires. Make sure they are seated correctly. Make sure they are all working. Not sure where your PCV is but it's likely in the same place. Good luck!
You all might want to try 1/2 gal of lacquer thinner to half tank of gas, burn through it all at once on the freeway. Didn't try in the ranger yet but worked great on 04 buick century. Threw a code but after I had it cleared it didn't come back!
What did you put in the crank case? I had/have the same issue. PCV was so clogged it would only occasionally start. Has it cleaned out and runs now but still a little rough.
see lacquer thinner comment below. I also use a quart of trans fluid to crankcase and one less quart of oil when I change the oil. Purrs like a kitten.
Did you drain the oil right after? If not how long have you been driving with it inside? I left it in, drove 20 miles. It would not stay running this morning. Related or not, I don’t know yet.
It was. The air breather had come off the intake. Happened trying to leave for work, no time to look. I was at work all day and was stressing about. Was looking for answers. Thanks.
I removed all vacuum lines going in to my manifold and ran them back in the valve cover, that removed all oil from the manifold, then the line coming out of the top of the valve cover in to a catch can now I don't get carbon buildup
Hey that little green tube coming off the EGR valve where is it supposed to go? Couldn’t see to clearly, on mine it’s just one inch straight down to nothing
It's a vacuum control line for the EGR. A quick glance reveals that it goes into a black bundle of other lines encased in a black corrugated tubing behind the intake. I believe that goes to the intake manifold vacuum tree down below. Hope that helps.
Hey I got a 90’ 2.3 and it misses when I’m starting to go u can hear the breaks in the exhaust tone while driving but under heavy load it starts to clear up, any idea of what it could be?
Got a misfiring 94 2.3L. Two of my plug wires on my coil pack are not arcing. Changed the coil pack, same problem, same plug wires. Do you think replacing the pcv valve would fix my misfire or could my problem be electrical?
Sounds like you have two bad plug wires. Wouldn't hurt to replace them all. It's always a good idea to check the PCV but it's not going to cause a no arc condition.
I just got mine fixed yesterday I had two broken spark plug wires he replace my spark plugs and replace my 02 rear downstream sensor OMG she runs a lot better than she was that's for sure before it was like she was having a real bad seizure or something
I have a’91 with the 2.3. It has no power at cruising speed, always downshifting. Head has been reworked and new plugs, wire and coils. Any ideas? Possible Ignition control module, or maybe stopped up cat.? Thanks!
I'm thinking the ignition module will either work or it won't. If your air filter is in good shape I'm thinking the cat. its over 30years old! In Ohio after 25 years emission checks are not required. Might want to replace fuel filter for good luck.
Hey I just watched your 93 ranger tachometer video and install one, the problem I encounter is that it reads very low. When idling it reads about 100rpms and when revved 3/4 it reads around 1200. Have you encountered this or know how to fix it? P.s. I have a 93 2.3L
Mine is doing the same thing. Oil in the throttle body, now it's missing like no other. Also has a knock going on in the overhead. Not sure what the knock sound is
@@jeffbarnes509 if like mine, change pcv. Try berrymans in crank case For sticky lifters. I recommend cleaning out intake and throttle body but maybe you don't have too.
It's hard to find caps like this in good shape. I just bought an 83 Ford Ranger 2.3l 4 cyl auto with duel tanks in absolutely mint condition aside from a few cracks dash pad. 👌

I replaced my old oem pcv valve with probably 100k on it with a new one from rockauto and got this issue... 😅
Thank you so much for this video and for leaving a impact on mine I will be sharing your videos because you are a real person ,thanks again my ranger bro
Thank you ranger bro. Good (and challenging) times with these fun trucks!
Well i dont have a misfire yet but, thanks so much for the excellent video and your very valuable knowledge!!
My pleasure. Glad she's still running well. Thank you for your comment!

Check your ignition wires. Make sure they are seated correctly. Make sure they are all working. Not sure where your PCV is but it's likely in the same place. Good luck!
Those PCV valves in the 2.3L Rangers are really a PITA to find and change.
right?!

@@moseschickenwater5861 Thanks for the video. Truck still has a long crank, but once it starts, runs great!
@@art10291 Good news. Hopefully you can get it to fire right up
I will be checking this on my 97 it’s bogging pretty bad always having to downshift
hope it helps

You can leave in till next oil change. Something else going on

That's one way to do it. Love to see some photos of that!

Starts to clear up but still lack of power I should say
@@kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk9236 Could be a number of things. Did you check the PCV? Plug wires? Clean the MAF? Check engine light on?

what product did you add to the engine? I see various versions of Berrymans
Chemtool I believe. Seafoam would probably work too.
@@kennystatham8722 hey buddy sorry to bother you when you say 5 shots stupid? But like how many is 5 shots like a bottle cap are ?
@@jimmys7865 Jimmy my father replied to you on my account it seems and hasn't seen your question. I will refer this to him.

@@moseschickenwater5861 thanks! I have an appointment at the muffler shop to check the cat on Wednesday.
@@davidhorne2326 Good luck!
@@moseschickenwater5861 well the cat. was fine, so I left it with the shop to see what they can find. Stay tuned!
@@davidhorne2326 oops! well please let me know what they find!
Exactly what product did you use to clear it up, and did you just shoot it right into the oil fill hole?
Berryman's chem tool in crankcase per label instructions. Dumped in oil fill hole. Make sure to check/replace elusive PCV valve.
Hello, just watched the video and started looking for this additive. I could not find a crankcase one?
Awesome video though!
@@1987lafuente I believe it was Berryman's B-12 chemtool fuel injector cleaner.
wrong tool for the job? worked for me!
did you just casually say your car started on fire?

Do you have the tach set for the correct number of cylinders?
What do you mean 5 shots? Do you mean five bottles?
About 5 oz
Do you recommend sea foam or chemtool?
I don't recommend anything but chemtool worked for me
Mine is doing the same thing. Oil in the throttle body, now it's missing like no other. Also has a knock going on in the overhead. Not sure what the knock sound is
@@jeffbarnes509 if like mine, change pcv. Try berrymans in crank case For sticky lifters. I recommend cleaning out intake and throttle body but maybe you don't have too.
How much did you add to the crankcase? I have same engine but a 97 5 speed. Same issues and I have done, changed, checked everything else.
@@jasonhowerton194 1z per qt of oil as instructed on can
Im looking for a bed cap like that.
made by Shur-Top, Toledo, Ohio. It was on the truck when I bought it. Don't know if they exist anymore.
@@moseschickenwater5861 thank you!!
It's hard to find caps like this in good shape. I just bought an 83 Ford Ranger 2.3l 4 cyl auto with duel tanks in absolutely mint condition aside from a few cracks dash pad. 👌
@@jesuslejesus9051 welcome!
@@jesuslejesus9051 Wow that's great! Lucky you!
Crankshaft sensor in wrong position!
Yours? Mine is fine!
maybe you should start changing your oil more than once a decade
That wasn't very nice.
