Hello - Probably not. The model was redesigned for 1993, and it's likely the steering column changed at that point. I would check with local recycle companies, and Ford Ranger internet forums for advice from others who may have faced...

The P0011 code is typically caused by oil issues with the car. I would particularly make sure the engine oil level is not low. The VVT solenoid relies on proper oil levels to do their job. If they don't have...

Hi there. These issues that you are having would not be related to a tune up or oil change, though they should be done if they are over due. Since the check engine light is on you need to start...

Normally, that is from worn outer CV joints. It's a front wheel drive car, it generally means you need new CV joints. The way the things go today is you better just replace the whole driveshaft. Because they make stuff...

It could be that the water is leaking in past the trunk weather stripping or possibly the drain in the bottom of the trunk is plugged. If you are brave you can get inside the trunk with a flashlight, close...

Hi Steven. Thanks for contacting us today. Limp mode is generally triggered due to a fault within the driveline, such as a differential or transmission issue. The best way to get an indication as to what is causing it is...

When the climate control system is turned off, then air from outside the vehicle will not enter the car’s cabin. To turn the climate control system on or off, press the Power button on the climate controls.

Electrochromatic mirrors are what can be termed as "automatic" day/night mirrors. These types of rear view mirrors have two sensors that detect light. One light sensor is on the back of the mirror (toward the windshield) that measures the amount...

Hi There, You should have two O2 sensors per bank. One is in front of the catalytic converter (typically in the exhaust manifold) and one is behind the catalytic converter, which is used to monitor the function of the catalytic...

It is normal for the passenger air bag off light to be on when no one is in the seat. This indicates the system is not activating the passenger air bag when no one is in seat. If someone is...

Hi there, thanks for writing in. If this problem only happens when you're in gear and accelerating, its very possible that it could have a transmission problem that causing a hesitation. I have seen issues like this before. It's also...

Cylinder deactivation on those cars, let's say a V8 engine, sometimes runs on 4 cylinders and sometimes runs on 6 or 8. It determines this through computer activation. The old systems are absolute garbage. GM had one on Cadillac,...

This is a common problem when the idle air control valve is dirty or faulty. The idle air control valve monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds...

Using a buffer on a car's paint to get out scratches would require the use of a compound liquid to take off some of the paint surface. If you buff too much in one spot, then you will take off...

You did not indicate if the new gas cap resolved the P0456 trouble code. If it didn't, the appropriate diagnostic is a check engine light diagnostic. With regard to gas caps, if a cap is faulty the best practice is...

There are a few things to check over. The water pump produces flow. To check this remove one of the heater hoses (small diameter) going to the heater core. Locate the hose end to a container to check flow of...

Hi, thanks for writing in. My first impression when you described the vibration is that you may have a bad motor mount. When you put the car in Drive or Reverse, the engine shifts slightly. If the rubber in the...

It does appear as though you will need to remove the intake manifold. My information system doesn't give specific instruction for the oil cooler hoses, but it does give information about the oil cooler. This sort of situation isn't out...

Oil leaking above. the oil pan can be coming from a number of places depending on how far above the pan, the oil is leaking from. The oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket/seal, or even the oil pressure switch are...

Hello.Most Liberty's that are 2002-2005 are interchangeable with these parts.

If the tire/wheel balancing and run-out (side to side motion) have been checked and ruled out, the fault may be suspension or driveline related. Worn inner c/v joints for example, can cause a vibration while accelerating either from a stop...

Hello - if you are still getting the P0707 code after replacing the range sensor switch, either the new sensor switch is out of adjustment still, or the wiring/connection to that sensor is malfunctioning. I would recommend a transmission selector...

The battery was loosing power and causing systems in the vehicle to shut down. Charge the battery up and have the alternator checked to see if its performing a 13.5 to 14.7 voltage and the proper amount of amperage. If...

This kind of reaction is often a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears. Every time a gear change is required, the car's computer...

Hi there. Either the engine oil pump is plugged up or failing or the engine bearings are worn causing internal oil leakage. The engine is running rough and wanting to stall due to the lack of lubrication. I recommend seeking...
