My 1987 Ford Ranger XLT RWD 2.9 L V6 runs fine going down the road but idles rough and rich. The mechanic suggested I replace the ECM at $600.00 to $700.00. Someone said to check the sparkplug gap. What should I do? I can't afford to spend that kind of money on a truck I only paid $800.00 for. I like the truck, it has two gas tanks and gets fairly decent fuel mileage. It just blows black smoke at idle and smells really rich. What can I do? Please help me help the truck to stay out of the salvage yard.
