2000 FORD RANGER, 3.0L, LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP

[@jeremyb251]

I’m almost 100% positive this is my problem. I had to remove all of that in order to replace the water pump, major ordeal for me. I don’t remember hooking that tube back in. Thank you!!

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

Very welcome!!!

@@JohnSadlersAutoRepair Well, that hose was not plugged into its spot. I plugged it in, no change. Cleaned the IAC, helped a little bit. When I unplugged the Air Flow sensor, nothing really changed, thought that odd. Going to get some cleaner for that and try that after work today.

What's the little hose called? Mine is broken and I started having same issue

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

I replacd that same hose from the oil filler cap to the intake tunnel just the other day on my 2002 Ranger. As you can see of the rubber section of the part it has deteriorated shown by the cracks on the outer diameter. Gas milage had been terrible. I'm in the process of replacing all vacuum hoses that look compromised from age. High heat in the engine compartment from summer temperatures and use degrade rubber components over time. The MAP sensor could have been cleaned instead of replacing.

[@michaelwalker7004]

I know this is an old comment. But I just got a 2002 ranger the other day and it has a similar issue did it help to replace that hose at all?

[@johnaclark1]

Major vacuum leak there. Should have seen high fuel trims on that, as well.

[@MrJeep75]

Not a vacuum leak

[@johnaclark1]

​@@MrJeep75 False air = vacuum leak. 100% a vacuum leak. The very definition of vacuum leak.

[@picklerix6162]

I have this same engine in my Mazda B3000. This hose became disconnected on my truck when the service manager yanked my air filter out of my truck during a state inspection and tried to sell me a new filter. Now, I have to tell them, “Don’t touch my filters and don’t touch my dipstick. Just do the inspection.”

[@markkennedy4055]

John my old friend...I would have replaced the Discunrunulator and realigned the Wide-Angle-Thunderbearings. A Sure fix so says Bucky.

Hahahahahaha!!!! Thanks for the awesome advice Mark!

[@jagers4xford471]

Great video thanks. On my 94 4.0L, the DPFE sensor lines were silicone to resist the heat. The one on your 3.0L looked to be braided gas line.

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

I don't think they use the silicone ones when they replaced them. When I look online I see both options. The ones you have are good.

I'm trying cataclean, after a drive off 66 miles started the next morning hot exhaust air and steam was flowing more than before .

Thanks for the info Steve! My neighbor swears by it!

Excellent,find.

[@drumyogi9281]

I have been having the same issue but not as bad with a 99' ford ranger. Same hose was disconnected. Did this resolve the issue?

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

Hi Jason, yes it did.

[@drumyogi9281]

I have the same problem with my 2000 ranger, but that hose I hooked up. What else would cause this problem?

[@rollin18wheels]

Having a very similar problem with my 01 3.0 Ranger. I recently put a brand new reman high performance long block in it & there arent any codes and everything is connected, but its really really weak compared to the original engine with 205k, a cracked block & 60psi on number 4. New engine is closer to a 3.3L stroker with all forged internals, roller rockers, bigger cam... you know... all the fun giddy up parts, but it don't wanna giddy up... do you have any ideas where I should start searching?

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

Wow! Not sure on that one. I would start with what the LTFT is at idle and 2,500 rpm. It should be zero, plus or minus 5 percent.

[@tylerbarton4984]

Where is that air charge temperature sensor pig tail running to I’m trying to locate mine

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

Hi Tyler, the sensor plugs into the intake boot somewhere before the throttle body. The pigtail wiring hooks into the main wiring harness and ends up at the computer.

[@vaughndibble4598]

Not only it dusted the engine to

[@MrJeep75]

Crankcase breather hose

[@johnathanjohnson3728]

What is the name of that hose, from oil cap to air flow hose

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

Hi Johnathan, crankcase breather hose. I've never found one at an auto parts store. The dealer usually has them in stock.

[@ricardotorres2646]

Great video. also noticed it was cracked on my truck but would this cause the engine to start smoking/overheat ?

[@JohnSadlersAutoRepair]

@@ricardotorres2646 Hi Ricardo, that wouldn't do overheating. If it's getting hot I would look for a coolant leak first and then possibly a sticking thermostat.

3.0 loss of power? How can you lose something you never had? 😅

[@14bqdonk]

Define power

[@bowtiebender6811]

I get plenty of power with my Automatic and manual 3.0 Rangers. Does everything a full size truck does.
