What causes a misfire on a number 4 cylinder on a 2000 ford ranger?
Bad spark plug, plug wire or both. Also burnt valve, blown head gasket, or severely worn rings. A defective intake manifold gasket is another possibility.
Why would an engine shake while idling like it is out of time but smooth out once you start driving?
i have a 2000 ford expedition, min did the same thing....twice. first time had a bad O2 sensor replaced that ran fine. second time was plugs Would help to know make and model of vehicle. But the most likely cause is an engine miss due to a bad plug wire or plug or a dead cylinder [no compression]. Other causes could be a vacuum leak or the fuel/air mixture may be way off. The engine is still missing at higher speeds you just don't notice it as the higher engine speed simply covers it up. This is why engine misses are usually diagnosed only at idle or under load while the vehicle is stationary. bestalucktoyou Check passenger side motor mount. A bad one will make the car vibrate at idle. The car very much may be out of time. At higher engine speeds you will not notice it. If you recently had the timing belt done or your timing belt jumped, would cause this. But first try a tune up.
What would be wrong if the car sputters when you're driving and press the gas pedal to accelerate?
You might want to check your fuel line filter, vacuum hoses, EGR valve, ECT, air filter, spark plugs and wires. These are the most common parts that would cause that type of problem. If the "check engine" light is on, take to the nearest autozone and they can they tell you exactly what is wrong..
Could be many things. But some things to check/replace might be...
-fuel filter
-fuel pressure
-TPS
-IAC

How do you fix a dish washer that won't drain?
You need to look underneath at the pump and find out why. The pump may be jammed (I have seen pumps with things like toothpicks jamming them) -It may have failed altogether, or the screen on the bottom of the interior of the machine could be clogged up with food debris. They are fairly simple machines and most handymen are capable of repairing them.
Why does my 1988 Chevy Celebrity Wagon stalls when coming to a complete stop?
Could be a faulty TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoid. Remove the TCC fuse and see if the problem goes away.
Most likely a partially plugged catalytic converter Or engine misfire Is the check engine light on?? If not have your exhaust backpressure checked
If you have not replace the spark plugs and plug wires then you may need to replace them. Your check engine light should be on if that is the problem. You may also have a vacuum leak so check all vacuum hoses.
2001 Ford Focus engine cuts out and stalls when driving up hill?
I've had the same problem. mine was fixed with a couple different steps. 1. Take to ford dealership have them change out fuel pump for free under recall. 2. change the fuel filter myself. 3. change out PCV hose and PCV valve. 4. clean throttle body. 5. use electronic cleaner to clean out MAF sensor. 6. change air filter. This made a huge difference in my car and hopefully helps you
Why does my 95 pathfinder start idle nice but when the gas peddle is pressed it stalls?
My 1996 Pathfinder would start and idle fine but when the accelerator was pushed down the engine would stall and surge (at about 2000 RPM). The problem was a broken wire on the connector to the air flow mass sensor. When the connector was removed entirely the engine failed in the same way. The left most wire was the one broken of three wires, when I repaired this connection all was good. This connector carries both air intake volume info and air temperature info.
1991 Dodge Daytona starts then stalls?
Theres alot of things that could be the problem.. first ...check the plugs and wires making sure they are at proper gap 0.35...and making sure the wires are pushed all the way down into the cap ,next replace the fuel filter because they don"t last forever ,if the problem is still there.. check the coil.. sometimes they could lose fluid giving them a weird spark, timing could be a problem as well or another weird twist the alternator
could have died to check that just disconnect the pos battery terminal while the engine is running if the car shuts off theres your answer
hope this helps
IF its doing this only when it warms up, it might be a bad coil - is it getting gas?
This could be caused by a million things. The key to finding out what is causing this is to read the code out of the OBD port. If it's a '97 or newer car, take it to Auto Zone and they will read the code out and advise you what to do next. Call them first to see if they read codes for free, I think they do. If it is older than a '97, search the web for instructions on how to short the contacts of the port to read the code.

What would cause the engine to rock while idling and when it gets to between 55 and 65 MPH?
motor mount? I suspect you have a broken motor mount.
An ignition miss would occure at those times. Especially at 50-55 mph, I would suspect secondary ignition components... Plugs, wires, etc...
