Hello, I replaced the heads on this 3.0, got back together, she will turn over act like she is about to start, she will cough, and then what I am assuming to be hydro lock happens. She locks up, I let off the key for a sec turn her over again she will cough twice and lock up. This repeats over and over. I have checked rechecked and checked the wire routing again. Please help, stumped in NC

Start with the basics…
Is your timing correct / #1 cylinder @ TDC
Is there compression
Is there fuel
Is there sparkFuel yes timing is good and spark yes. Has DIS, and was running barely with cracked head when she came in, compression also is good, this is why I am stumped.

So my ford ranger was flex fuel total different firing order at coil pack, thanks for your time.[/quote]Yeah, catching which 3.0 it is matters a lot. When my dad gave me his, it was running really rough. Through TLC it ran smoother, but still would get a misfire code. My dad had told me he had all the ignition parts replaced and the mechanic was stumped as to why it was running right. So he gave me the truck since he couldn’t get it to pass inspection. Last year I decided to replace all the ignition parts myself. I ordered the proper parts, knowing it was a flex fuel, and turns out that was the mistake his mechanic made.So been awhile it is flex fuel, I found the proper firing order by internet search for 2001 Ford ranger wierd firing order and walah it worked
