1999 Ford Ranger rough idle fix (never ran so smooth)

this fix is universal on most RANGERs hose connector, under throttle body on driver side

[@jamesbowles1863]

2 years later and your about to be the reason yet ANOTHER ranger is back running smooth and getting just a bit better mileage 😂 thank you sir!

[@TrishaDishing]

My husband wanted me to tell you THANK YOU! Your vid helped fix his long time problem with his truck, he is soooo happy. His truck is idling smooth, has power, running great!

[@philfixedit4874]

That line was so easy to overlook thank you for posting this video your the G.O.A.T.

[@garystafford-x6j]

Wow! Been fighting this issue for years. Checked the line and found it was crumbling, with the help of some mice. Thank you so much!

[@oa_math]

I had this exact same situation!!! Same hose, same tape!! Owner that sold it to me used tape but it was cracking even more. Replaced the hose and now it's all good

[@terryweekly4510]

What you are calling an alternator is actually the air conditioner compressor. But your diagnosis is for sure correct.

[@CarlWilliams-u3y]

Ancel s300 smoke machine has it's own pump to smoke out leaks. Ebay has it.

Good job, kid.

[@raulalvarado4198]

I will check the same vacuum hose buddy I have the same problem, thanx very much

[@eth1128]

Good find man, I'll have to check my hoses and such

[@000001willy]

Thanks for the explanation. I will check it on my 2010 Ford Ranger.

[@johnmasson3979]

Dude, thanks! My leak seemed to cause very erratic idle speeds!

[@andytaylor6781]

Absolutely splendid 👌

[@benjaminbrown9382]

I will check this out on my Ranger because it is having a rough idle.

[@jeffreypetree7163]

Gotta look for this tomorrow ✌

[@picklerix6162]

I have a B3000 with the same engine. I started to see hesitation and misfires. I had a smaller vacuum hose that connects to the canister purge valve that was leaking badly.

[@douglasstewart1380]

good job my brother

Great video thank you🖖🏻🧔🏻‍♀️🇺🇸

That not the alternator that’s the ar compressor

He will get better, he's impressive, don't you think? Not some punk kid.

Ancient Chinese secrets

[@Shadowband72]

I wouldn't use electric tape to do that , but I have used tape and other products to make it so that wear a hose is rubbing up against something else it doesn't rub through the hose . Maybe someone had the right idea but just used the wrong damn tools .

[@80bicho]

Where’s is the hose connected to in the back??

[@everydaycrew6727]

Under brake lines

[@_JEBUS]

Were you getting a flashing CEL because of a misfire at idle?

[@everydaycrew6727]

I don't think so maybe tho

[@jeremyb251]

That alternator looks an awful lot like an ac compressor.

[@SnakeBlisskin]

Fuck yeah

[@JeffreysmithSmith-eo3oe]

It’s called vacuum leak

[@jerrybender4279]

Is this the same as a 4.0 #001

[@everydaycrew6727]

It is a 4 liter

[@jerrybender4279]

Is that like 2001 4.0

[@everydaycrew6727]

99 acc pretty rare too

[@treyvinton3000]

@@everydaycrew6727 what is acc?

[@everydaycrew6727]

@@treyvinton3000 actually it's a 1999 4.0 this year with this motor also being the xlt 6'bed 1 1/2 cab

[@evelynmahoney3569]

My same truck. Always thought it sounded like a sewing machine. Check engine light comes on about once a year. OBD2 says cyl 3 misfire. Knew it had a detectable miss at idle, but now has a rough idle after cold start. We'll see.
