Why does your 1989 Ford Ranger heat up fast after being started and putter on the highway after being driven for only 5 minutes but if you let off the gas it will run smooth?

Two things to check - The therostate may need replacing. AND, the throttle position sensor mounted on the side of the air intake - opposite the throttle linkage - may be bad. The TPS is a poteniometer of sorts. About $50. You can test it in place. Removing it can present a problem in getting it back to the EXACT position it was in before being removed. It sends signals to the computer at idle and full throttle. The mid-range throttle position fuel control is determined by the computer. Another item to check is the water temperature switch near the thermostat. Sometimes you need to put a water hose clamp around it for it to make good contact.

No. Absolutely not.

In what way? We actually have an English Setter Basset Hound mixed breed and she is fantastic and ADORABLE! She's white with black and brown "ticking" like a setter with short legs and a long body- but not quite as stout as a basset. She's very friendly and has a great temperament, just needs a lot of exercise.
