2002 Ford Ranger Edge 3.0L 67k
So yesterday I posted about needing to replace the cam synchronizer on my truck. It had the signature chirping noise and a barely noticeable rough idle. Well I replaced the synchronizer and I still have a chirp and a barely noticeable rough idle. I cleaned the butterfly extensively with carb cleaner and tooth brush too and still idles rough slightly. The old synchronizer had play in the shaft and also had a grinding noise coming from inside it when spinning the shaft so regardless of the chirping noise the synchro still needed replacing.
I have replaced plugs, air filter, synchronizer and changed the oil to full synthetic Castrol Edge 5w30 with a fram ultra. My next check will be the EGR valve, serpentine belt/ujoint(for chirping) and pcv valve. If that yields no results, then I will check the fuel filter for the idle issue and look for vacuum leaks.
What else am I missing on my checks?
