Picked up a 94' 4x4 single cab ranger with the 4.0/a4ld combo. Great truck, 65k original miles. Only two issues I have is that 1. After sitting all day or all night the initial crank is about 3 times as long to start as it is when it's warm. I initially thought fuel pressure. 35psi with the key on 30 while idling. Pressure varies with throttle which leads me to guess the regulator is working. It won't hold that pressure over night but will for about 4-5 hours. Even if I cycle the key 3-4 times before starting it doesn't help. Don't think it's ever had plugs or wires replaced so I will be doing that but not convinced that's the problem.
2. The shift from 1-2 leaving a light or stop sign is pretty hard. Doesn't matter if I'm in drive or OD. If I standon the skinny pedal from a dog it shifts smooth but normal driving it's pretty stout. Check the governor vacuum line at the manifold I didn't seeany sign of atf in it. All other gears shift smooth. Any ideas?
