MY 2001 FORD RANGER 3.0 LITER AUTOMATIC HAS A LOT OF PRE-IGNITION UNDER LOAD, REGARDLESS OF OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. I HAVE HAD 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THE TIMING TO RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS. AN INDEPENDANT SHOP TOLD ME THAT THAT THERE WAS A FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. HE SAID THAT THE PROBLEM COMES FROM A CONTROL MODULE THAT CHANGES THE ENGINE TIMING AS NEEDED FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. IS THERE SUCH A CURE FOR ME? *JB

PROBLEM 1- VEHICLE REGULARLY STALLS OR IDLES SO LOW POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN SLOWING FOR AND ENTERING CORNERS AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL AND TO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. PROBLEM 2- CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN PEDAL IS RELEASED. AFTER A MOMENT IT RELEASES ON ITS OWN ACCORD AND TRUCK JERKS FORWARD VIOLENTLY. CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. *AK

THAN LET MOTOR WARM UP COMPLETLY , THAN DRIVE GENTLY UNTIL COMPUTER MEMORY IS REPROGRAMED. THIS PARTIAL FIX CAME FROM JACOBS ELECTRONICS NOT FORD WHICH CHARGED ME $75 TO TELL ME IT WAS A MEMORY SHORT IN THE COMPUTER. THEY ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE SPARK BOOSTER CAUSED THE PROBLEM WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT OCCURED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW TO ME AT 22 MILES. THIS MEMORY PROBLEM IF NOT CORRECTED REQUIRES EXCESSIVE THROTTLE INPUT TO START THE TRUCK IN FIRST GEAR TO AVOID STALLING WHICH IS A SAFTY HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY THE COMPUTER HAS CALIBRATION DIFFICULTIES WHICH RESULT IN SLIGHT MISSING OR ROUGHNESS WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY EVEN WITH THE SPARK BOOSTER WHICH GREATLY...
