1984 Ford Ranger Ranger idol issue

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Is the vehicle fuel injected?

1st OF ALL

WE NEED TO START OFF WITH A CLEAN SLATE

THIS MEANS CATCHING UP ON

"ALL"

OF THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED (USUALLY YOU CANNOT TRUST THE OTHER FELLERS SALES PITCH)

KEEPER?

LET'S DO IT RIGHT!

I MEAN AT THE PRESENT TIME

ALL ENGINE RELATED MAINTENANCE- PLUGS/ PLUG WIRES/ DISTRIBUTOR CAP/ ROTOR BUTTON/ PCV/ BAD HOSES/ TIGHT CARB HOLD DOWN BOLTS/ ETC?

AS WE DON'T NEED TO FIX STUFF OR HAVE "GIVENS" (THAT AIN'T) INTERFERE WITH "TUNING"

DO THE REST OF THE VEHICLE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

NOW THEN

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A LINK/ IT'S 2 PAGES LONG/ THIS MAY SAVE US A BUNCH OF TIME!

GRANTED

THIS IS A JEEP LINK/ YOURS HAS THE SAME KINDA STUFF/ SOME OF IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT

YOU'LL HAVE TO SORTA TRANSLATE IT TO YOUR RIG

YOU WILL ALSO NEED THE SUGGESTED TOOLS/ "WINGING IT", JUST DON'T WORK

AND MOST OF ALL

REMEMBER ME AND THE OTHER FELLER WILL AID YOU AS YOU GO, IF NEED BE!

ANOTHER HELPFUL AID TO US, IF WE NEED IT, IS FOR YOU TO TAKE OFF YOUR BREATHER AND TAKE LEFT/ RIGHT/ TOP "WELL LIT" PICS OF YOUR ENGINE, AS WE MIGHT POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO "SEE" A POSSIBLE PROBLEM. OTHER STUFF W/ A QUESTION, POINT AT IT AND SNAP A PIC. (PICS CANNOT BE TOO "BIG" OR THEY WON'T SHOW UP ON HERE

JUMP IN IF I TELL HIM WRONG

ARE WE SORTA UPDATED WITH NEW TUNE-UP PARTS?

I FORGOT THE FUEL FILTER

IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE TURN THE KEY TO "ON", DOES THE THROTTLE POSITIONER SORTA ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ OUT?

IS THERE A DECAL UNDER THE HOOD THAT SAYS WHAT BASE IDLE IS-OR ANY IDLE FOR THAT MATTER? POST ALL FINDINGS
