Honda Civic electrical problems?
some states require that that ranger has to pass a stricter set of smog regulations. therefore for ford put two plugs per cylinder, one for the power stroke one for exaust stroke to burn any remaining fuel.The ranger/b2300 has two engine packages. The standard package, and the SE (sport edition) package. To find this out, open your hood, and look at the exhaust. If it has a manifold (basically, a big clump of iron), it is the regular package, and your truck has 4 plugs. If the truck has headers (individual metal tubes that run down and meet further down the exhaust), you have the SE model, and you have 8 plugs.
Look on top of the engine. You will see some black boxes with thick wires coming out of them. Those boxes are your ignition coils. Count how many wires are coming out of those boxes, and the number of wires you get is the number of plugs you have!
Okay here the answer you can go by for any car, now the rule goes that if it has a four cylinder engine it has four spark plugs, six cylinder six plugs,and eight and eight. Now you have a 2.3 a four cylinder,then dealer was correct you only have four.

The 2.3L four-cylinder had two variations in 1997(and most likely other years): one had 4 plugs, and the other had 8. the reason for the 8 plugs is to make the engine run cleaner -- the intake side plugs fire first, and the the exhaust side plugs fire very soon after to produce a "dual flame" to burn the air-fuel mixture more thoroughly. the 8-plug engine might have been a California model for improved emissions. im not sure if your engine has 4 or 8, but if it has 8, you will see 2 coil packs (square black boxes) with 4 plug wires coming out of each on the left side of your engine. the coil packs are mounted with one visible, and the other behind it and mounted slightly lower. also, you will see 4 plugs above your exhaust manifold, and 4 embedded deeply between the intake manifold and your cylinder head (you will only see the plug wires coming off of these). these are a pain to change, and it takes long. the dealer may have been lazy and only changed the exhaust side, or maybe you just have a 4-plug engine.More Questions & Answers ...
