When you get a stain on clothing, don't let it sink in, start cleaning it right away: If it is an oily stain- a good way to get it off, is with dishwashing soap. (just apply a little of the soap and then scrub it in and rinse right away with water.) Other stains: Buy a good stain remover, spray it on to the stain and scrub it for a few minutes, afterards rinse it off with water. If the stain doesn't come off, try doing the above steps again. Note: Don't ever put garment into drier before the stain is completely off, once it went through the drier, it is almost impossible to get it off.

Go to 78TA.com & use search. Or ask someone on the forum, Good people.

Here's hoping that you still have the proper key. With the key in the ignition slot turn to run position. 2. from the bottom of column(directly under switch) insert a drill bit/nail in hole provided. 3. push up with drill bit and pull out key switch. 4. slide replacement switch into hole completely. 5. return new switch to off position, all done (same instructions are found on new switch packaging) ***alternately, if key is lost you will probably need to drill it out(risky and time consuming) I had to do it this way, and then found the original key. I spent about 3 hours. a little at a time to prevent damage to rest of column. good luck.

Open the drivers door and on the latch pillar you will see an information

sticker that shows the original tire size on the vehicle from the factory

The passenger side airbag has been available in Ford Rangers as an option since 1996. So it's a possibility.

There are 2 on the engine, there is one next to the thermostat housing that sends a signal to the engine computer that takes a 1 inch wrench and there is another one that sends the signal to the Dashboard gauge and is located on the rear of the engine on the passenger side of the vehicle and you need to take off the cabin engine housing to get to this, this takes a 11/16 wrench and has a push on plug, be sure to de-pressurize the system prior to taking off these units, a ground will send the gauge to the hot side and an open switch will keep it on the cool side, so test the wire to be sure the gauge works first.

The MAP sensor is located on the passenger's side strut tower. There is a solenoid connected to it by a short piece of hose, and a hose runs from that solenoid to the intake. The MAP sensor will have a 3-pin electrical connector on it.

In the gas tank. There's an access hatch located under the rear seat.

I assume you mean the bottom radiator hose which means the radiator is doing a good job in cooling the water. Most likely the thermostat is stuck open and the block temeperature is not getting up enought to give you "hot" water through the heater core. Now if you are talking about the heater hoses then there may be only a small flow because the heater water control valve is only partially open or clogged, Maybe the hose collasped or the heater core is clogged. Remove the hoses from the engine and check them and the heater core flow with your garden hose water pressure. First check to see if the heater core has been bypassed, usually done when a leaking core is present during the summer time.Then check for flow with water hose, if a coolant system stop leak was ever added to the cooling system the heater core is the first to get clogged ,due to the smaller ports. If all is ok there check to see if the air flow vane is being actuated to change the air flow from cold to hot. The vane is usually either vacuum or mechanically operated. On the vacuum style the hoses crack and sometimes the mechanical cables malfunction, either way the vane doesn't engage when the heat setting is applied to allow the air flow into the heater core housing/box.

4, one for each cylinder. There are also some engines, (for instance, the early 1980's Datsun 2000R, 2200R and 2400Z), that have 2 spark plugs per cylinder.

You might see if the throttle cable is loose, as they get stretched out rather severely over time. You can check by looking at your gas pedal, and lifting it up, if it can be lifted more than a quarter inch, then the cable is likely stretched out. The fix for this is simple and cheap, if it is a little inconvenient due to having to contort yourself with the driver's seat in the way. To fix the problem, you need to get 3-4 zip ties and look under the dash at the top of the gas pedal assembly, where the throttle cable comes through the top of the pedal, and then through a spring, you'll probably find that the cable is sticking out past the spring pretty considerably, what you want to do is hold the pedal up with something, and use zip ties to act as an extension of the spring. You don't want to push against the spring, and make the cable too tight or you might end up with a truck that would always have a partially open throttle. Once you've applied the zip ties, remove the block from under the pedal, and go for a drive.

Five Chimes then pause and again for 5 more intervals - It's the Air bag Light IN THE DASH - It is burned out - REPLACE the dash lightbulb for the airbag light and the chiming sound will go away.... If the Pasenger Side airbag switch has a burned out bulb also (UNDER YOUR ASH TRAY) - this will cause the DASH light to stay on once you replace it. You can solder a new bulb into the Pasenger Side Airbag Swith (Under your ashtray) from Radio Shack.

your gas cap may not be installed correctly

Hey Vince==It is in the valve cover. GoodluckJoe

just follow the upper radiator hose toward engine and remove the bolts

No , it is not an interference engine ( according to Gates , they manufacture timing

belts etc. )

The engines in a 1993 Ford Ranger are fuel injected , so there is no
