New 2009 Ranger - Ford Ranger Forum

Eldon · 07-27-2009, 10:48 PM

I just bought a new Ranger and I am new to the forum. It is a 2.3 2WD with standard Trans. I find that it will not Idle down between shifts gets down to 2200 maybe 2000 the truck normally idles at 950. I took it back to the dealer and he says that it is normal. If this is so it is a pain in the you no what. My 2003 TDI doesn't do that. Looking for feedback.
Thanks

Your TDI is a VW not a ford, I have this issue with mine and have altered the way I drive to accomodate this issue. It is unconventional, but try letting off the throttle about a second before you depress the clutch and see if that helps you out. It's not a perfect situation, but seems to help me out.

Ya my TDI is a Volkswagen and it's not a Ford but Ford should be able to make their standard transmition shift like it should. I Have been told by two non dealership machanices that the truck shouldn't behave like it does and to take it back, or take it to another dealership. I am in the proses of taking it to another dealer. I will keep everyone inform

My Ranger is the same.. It took me a little bit to get used to it, now I am over it and have no issues with it.

Also, I think it's not doing it as much now that it's "broken in" with 2k miles on it.
