If oil is leaking out of the pcv valve then either the valve is no good or there is sludge build up in the tube causing the leak. Replace the pcv valve...it a $10 part.

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

2013 Ford Ranger 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.

Check the big plug behind the passenger kick panel in the footwell. It is pulled tight and the pins can progressively pull out of the opposing plug, dropping power to dash and security immobilizer. Unplug and check all pins and sockets are the same length (push in from behind if not).

Overheating even though there’s coolant inside

2008 Ford Ranger Ranger 4.0L Engine 4x4 168000 miles
I have coolant and K seal in the radiator reservoir, I have oil in the truck, and the heat/ blower works just fine. The only things I can think are that the radiator is clogged or thermostat is messed up, BUT it’s acting more like a faulty fan. Anyone have any advice, I’m new to this

I have a 96 ranger here. The speedometer, temp, fuel, and oil pressure gages all don't light up. They work just fine. My blinker, brights, e-brake and all the other lights show up. I replaced the bulbs, the dimmer works bc my cargo light turns on. It doesnt have a cab light in it.

Oil pump ceasure

2012 Ford Ranger pickup xlt 4x4 D/C TDCI 196157 miles
My oil pump ceased to pump oil into the engine that other day while the car was in motion resulting in damage to the shell bearing and crank shaft. I changed the oil pump, but the same thing just happened. Now i am not so sure if it's the oil pump of something else. The engine is a T5 double cam.

My 2013 Ford Everest 3.0 tdci XLT started by giving me issues with starting. I had to crank and crank until it started then when that stopped working had to resort to the dreadful 'engine quickstart'. A friend of mine who owns a workshop told me it was most probably the injectors so we sent them in for servicing. R14k later they were back, we fitted them after completely cleaning the fuel system and filled new clean diesel and changed the oil and oil filter. It drove fine for two days then started to puff black smoke then the difficulty in starting started again. I sent the injectors back and the injector specialist told me there was an issue with one injector and he sorted it out. We fitted it and the vehicle sounded smooth and awesome. I parked it that night and the next morning it cranked a few times then came to an abrupt stop. I gave it a few minutes it cranked and started and then shut off. I cranked again and heard a screeching sound and it sounded like it siezed. I opened the oil cap and seen the the valves and lifters were absolutely dry. I took it to another mechanic and he found that the oil pump had seized. I service my vehicle at the dealership on time every time and change the oil and oil filter every three months even though I only do around 22000km a year. Now that main and big end bearings as well as the crankshaft are condemned. What's going on?

Diesel found in oil

2012 Ford Ranger Freestyle cab 70000 miles
Diesel found in oil, oil gauge rose up. Hopefully it's an injector problem I sent them away to get tested, there was no visible damage just hope it is an internal problem

Did you top up the engine oil recently? Are you sure there is diesel in the fuel? There is quite a bit of smell cross over in these engines because of the sensitive nature of the piston rings.

Something really annoying about that is that there is quite a bit of oil burnt out the ring for this same reason so most rangers will require a 1-2L top up every 5000km. The problem that then comes from this is that it is a variable flow system and can take anywhere between 10 mins and 2 hours to actually drain back into the sump and get an accurate range. If your on a slight incline this can also dramatically affect the reading on your dipstick.

I myself wound up over filling by 200ml thinking that she was running low and the gauge still read at 1/8th under. This caused a heavier smell than usual, so noticeable it was clear from just the small amount on the dipstick.

Ford Ranger 2.2 diesel engine failure

2012 Ford Ranger Ford Ranger 297000 miles
The car through the engine oil light, I checked the oil level; it was OK. I sought advice from a mechanic. We diagnosed the car with an OBD2 scanner, and there wasn't anything suggesting an oil pump failure. The mechanic suggested that it could be an oil sensor switch. I must first change it and see how the car behaves. I drove the car home at 40 km/hr, and then, as I was waiting for the gate to open, the engine just stalled. Could I have destroyed the engine? What's the first thing on diagnosis? I am in Randburg ,Gauteng.
