My ford ranger XL 3ltr turbo 4 cylinder dual cab ute keeps jumping out of 3rd gear. What could be the cause of this and how to fix it???
What will be rough estimate of cost to fix. Will it need a whole new transmission?
Will jump out of 3rd whenever it feels, flat ground or incline/decline.

Probably a worn gear or synconizer in the transmission. That would require replacing a gear or two.

The Engine Code p0191 is the Fuel Sensor Unit , after reading & seeing your video on how to remove & fit it I new that I could do it myself. I went to my local Ford Dealer & told him what I needed & how much was the Sensor Unit, my local Ford Dealer said that I would have to buy the whole Fuel Rail because they don't make them as a Single Unit & the price would be $800 + Fitting the. Rail with the Sensor, I showed this Idiot your video clip & he told me that your video was Wrong , so I told him too shove it I then went to a Spare parts shop & told them what I needed & they had 1 in stock for $370 , all I had ro do was to unsrew it the 1 in the video had 2 bolts but on mine ir was just unscrewing it , so easy I let my truck get COLD when I done the JOB, it took about 20 mins from start to finish. When I took the old part back in they said it's a non - genuine part , I told that Idiot that I would rather have a Bosch part than a Ford part. I just think that this Ford Dealer justs likes Ripping people off & if I ever need any parts in the future I will NEVER go back there. Best regards , Duke

My 2008 turbo Ranger just got wrtten off by insurance co after months of exhaustive independent engineer inspections after filling it with contaminated fuel at Woolworths /Caltex discount fuel. Just salvaged it as economic write-off from Pickles Auctions and would love to see link to the video you mention.

Ford Ranger PX Traction Control

Ford Ranger 2013 3.2 100000 miles
I have a 2013 PX Ford Ranger, and each morning when I start off on my trip to work I get to the end of the street and the Traction Control light comes on, then activates the Traction Control. I then need to turn the car off and back on and it doesn't happen again. What could this be??? It only it only happens when the car is cold (I live in Brisbane Australia, so cold is +20c) and happens when I drive at slow speed. Or stop for the first time. I've had taken the car to a Ford Dealership and they spent 6 hours on it can could not find an issue. No error codes are reported on the scanner, and cannot replicate the issue because I've driven the car to the Ford Dealership and I have already turn the car off and back on to clear the Traction Control issue. \

I have same issues with my Ford ranger 2013
MickT from Australia 3 years ago
My 2013 PX1 is having a similar issue. Mainly when I turn right with momentum the stability control light comes up on the dash. I can hear a suction noise from the engine bay which I can only describe sounds like a ship horn! I loose all acceleration under foot and at its worst I have to stop the car and switch it off to reset. This issue does not seem to happen in a straight line driving situation.
My mechanic can’t find what it is as it won’t throw any codes. The only thing that comes up is ’turbo low power’. I have been told that it could be the electronic actuator on the turbo but there is no definitive evidence that this is the actual issue. It could be throwing this code because of the loss in power. I have noticed that when this issue occurs the top hose ( throttle body to intercooler) depresses. Meaning that it is no longer pressurised instead in a vacuum.
Jake from Australia 3 years ago
MickT yeah that sounds a bit different to what the OP described and what others with 'same issue's are claiming...

Mines going to Ford Kilmore on 29th/April so we'll see what they say.
If anyone who has had this issue rectified, or if anyone see this in future send me an email to Jake at MRLS dot com for au
MickT from Australia 3 years ago
Hey Jake,
Yeah my mechanic was having trouble making sense of it. I’ve since taken it to a auto elec and they are certain that it is the turbo actuator. I’ve decided to up the turbo with the Garrett upgrade and throw in a better flowing intercooler followed by a remap. If this fixes the issue I’ll let everyone know.
Dale from Australia 3 years ago
@MickTHow’d you go mate? This generation of ranger have small wiring issues and while I’m not getting the same problem with traction, I do have a problem with the engine hunting idol after turbo engagement until the engine is warm. Wonder if this is also an actuator issue...
@Nhank from Australia 3 years ago
Anyone have an out come with the TC light staying on issue? Having the same problem
Jake from Australia 3 years ago
Mine has stopped doing it for now. But it's done this before... Does it every day (or almost every day) for a while, and then it'll stop for a few months.
@Nhank from Australia 3 years ago
@JakeThanks for getting back to me. Appreciate it cheers mate
MickT from Australia 3 years ago
@@NhankHey fellas,
Sorry, really late reply here...
So it sounds like we are all having symptoms that could relate to some of the same issues. So I think with the traction control issue the first thing we checked was the wheel sensors. If they check out ok keep in mind that if you have a big wheel set up and 2' and higher lift kit, it can set the sensors off over time. It seems to be only happening to the right side.
With my ute I had other issues going on at the same time so it through us right off in terms of diagnosis.
Zach from Australia 3 years ago
Anyone resolve this problem? I'm having the exact same issue 2013 Ford Ranger Hi-Rider 2.2L
Jake from Australia 3 years ago
After a little while of the fault not happening, the fault has returned, very randomly coming on but generally in the morning not long after first start. My ute is at Ford right now actually for a service. They say some fault codes are showing up regarding the glow plugs open circuit and EGR faulty... ???? They had it overnight but said they couldn't see the fault happen (of course it doesn't happen the morning they had it). They said the glow plugs and EGR need replacing anyway ($1700 ish) and this might indirectly rectify the Traction control issue. (The service manager said they've seen glow plugs get old, have this fault code, it be ignored, and the tip snap off into the cylinder... not good so they need replacing regardless of the traction control issue)
We'll see what happens when I get the ute back and if the traction control fault goes away.
Zach from Australia 2 years ago
Hey mate, any updates on your ute?
Jake from Australia 2 years ago
@ZachHey mate, yeah got it back Monday arvo (a few days ago), no faults yet... Buy it'll go periods of time without the light coming on and going into limp mode... so I'm only mildly confident the fault is fixed but hopeful. Ask me in a few weeks haha. (So they changed all glow plugs and replaced the ECG valve. )
Zach from Australia 2 years ago
@JakeAwesome mate! Yes please, if you could possibly post up in a week or 2 with the outcome will be great for all of us to finally pin point or have an idea on whats causing this fault. Thanks for your quick response legend !
rob s from Australia 2 years ago
As I posted before its a blocked ERC valve. My mechanic took it out and cleaned it but it will happen again... just carbons up over time especially with short city driving. They can be bypassed but that is not legal because of the anti pollution regs. Ford has been not help at all
Zach from Australia 2 years ago
Awesome mate ! Yes I have the same problem. I just got off the phone with Ford in Mansfield QLD, blocked ERC/EGR? Valve
Gilbo from Australia 2 years ago
Hey guys same problem with mine. Knocking sound on the engine,strong gas smell,limp mode,check engine warning and the traction control warning pops up until i found out that the EGR valve is stucked in close position,manage to remove it with difficulty and made it work to easily pushed the valve spring in and out. I got rid of the knocking sound and strong gas smell but the traction and limpmode is still. There. Anyone knows how to reset it?
Zach from Australia 2 years ago
Yes blocked EGR valve. Check for any splits in your intercooler hose’s or the intercooler it’s self, I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a split hose.

Shanialee177 from Australia 2 months ago
2.2lt 2015 hi-rider ranger. Had a problem with trac control light coming on, wheel clicking at low speed only when my vehicle was cold, random limp mode, no fault history on scan tool every time it was scanned. Finally went into limp mode and engine light stayed on after stopping and starting vehicle. Egr fault, put a blanking plate and plugged in a model about $200 all up and I fitted it myself in about 15 minutes. Well I haven’t had a single problem since and I blocked it off about a week ago. This was an on going issue for about 2 years. Was ready to drive it into a tree because nobody could tell me what the hell was going on. Highly recommend doing an Egr block if you haven’t already

Transmission vibrations SolvedSolved

Ford Ranger 2012  50000 miles
My van started having huge vibration problems at speeds between 5-40 mph. All the car's crosspieces have been replaced and now the vibration is softer but still well noticeable at speeds between 25-40 mph. All the engine, box and exhaust holders have been checked, the tires have been serviced and the drive shaft has been turned to crankshaft in 180 degrees, but the vibration is still there. What can it be?

Lay yourself under the car and check that the drive shaft or Cardan shaft is properly installed.The differential is quite difficult, so you should check the cross-pieces

Roland, thanks for your help. Effectively, the cross-piece that was installed linked together with the differential was presenting some vertical moves. It will be changed.

Power loss and jerks

Ford Ranger 1993  120000 miles
When speeding up, it loses power and jerks every now and then. When reducing the speed, in 3rd or 2nd gears, explosions are heard. When starting the car, the engine is powerless and only after two minutes or so it stabilizes.

Temperature raise SolvedSolved

Ford Ranger 2005  450000 miles
When the temperature is at its normal range, water starts to leave the deposit and, when there is a water deficit, the temperature raises. The odd thing is that the hose that carries water to the pump is always cold, even the hose that leaves the thermostat, and they are hoses that enter the superior part of the radiator and thus should be hotter. It seems as though water was not flowing. The thermostat is new, so it might be a housing failure, as the gasket was changed for a new and original one.

Maybe the exhaust tubing & resonator being so close to the transmission makes it twice as hot. Maybe a heat shield or the transmission fluid needs to have a higher boiling point ???

My ford ranger 3.2 t6 2013 cranks,starts and then stops

Ford Ranger 2013  200000 miles
My ford ranger cranks ,starts and then cut off again. I replaced my old engine with another engine,turbo charger,throttle board.It usually cranks and then starts again after a few minutes or hours. Sometimes it goes into safe mood but after a few minutes it removes itself again and sometimes it stops whilst trying to reverse it. What might be the problem?I've tried putting it on the machine bt the only issue being shown is to do with the rear speed sensors but my mechanic believes this has nothing to do with it cranking,starting and then failing to start again whilst showing a battery light and oil light switch light on the dashboard.

10 failures

Ford Ranger 2012  40000 miles
These are the failures I have encountered with my vehicle: 1. Manufacturing problem: it did not bring kid locks in the back doors. 2. Door rubbers fall. 3. At its second maintenance after 10000 km, the fuel pump was not working any more. 4. The radio turns off and the volume cannot be raised. 5. The gearbox is failing: third gear won't enter. 6. The parking button does not work. 7. After 28000 km, the reverse started failing. 8. When the air conditioning is on, there is a considerable power loss. 9. Braking system failures: most noticeable when turning. 10. Strong burning smells coming from the engine. Can someone help me solve this situation?
