That's Fords twin plug ignition system , so your Ford Ranger 4 cylinder has ( 8 ) spark plugs and spark plug wires
Here you go, click the link.
Pull them out and replace them one at a time.
The firing order should be stamped onto the engine block at some location, or on the stickers at the front of the hood.
I'd replace the wires on at a time. I have a special plug wire puller pliers that helps to avoid breaking the wires if you can't get them off the sparks plug.
because you did it wrong
What is the fireing order plug 93 ford ranger xlt 3.0
In a 1997 Ford Ranger : The 2.3 liter four cylinder with Fords twin plug ignition system has ( 2 coil packs ) and ( 8 ) spark plug wires for the eight sparkplugs The 3.0 liter and the 4.0 liter V6 engines have ( 1 coil pack ) and ( 6 ) spark plug wires for the six spark plugs
The 4 cylinder engine actually has ( 8 plug wires ) because of Fords twin plug ignition system The 3.0 L and 4.0 L - V6 engines have ( 6 plug wires )
On a 2001 Ford Ranger , 2.5 liter four cylinder engine : The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 ) The spark plug wires connect to the two coil packs : ( 3 - 1 ) Spark plug wires on exhaust side ( passenger side of engine ) ( 2 - 4 ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ( 4 - 2 ) Spark plug wires cross over top of engine to intake side ( driver side ) ( 1 - 3 )
On mine, the plug wires were bad, and no making a proper connection. changed plugs and wires and the problem was solved.
start by removing one wire at a time. Replace it with the closest length matching wire. Do this one wire at a time. What ever you do, don't pull all the spark plug wires at once. You might not install the wires in the correct order. good luck.
