What does cylinder 4 on a Ford Ranger mean?
The engine is also not firing all of the fuel, so raw fuel is also passing through Cylinder 4 into the exhaust. Mileage may suffer as well when your Ranger has P0304 as well. P0304 is a cylinder specific misfire code, which means that Cylinder 4 is misfiring and causing the code.
Is the Ranger 2.3L engine a bad engine?

How many spark plugs are in a Ranger 4 cyl?
My engine has two spark plugs per cyclinder. The Ranger then switched to a larger stroke (I believe offhand) to make it a 2.5l. Then the 2.3l was reengineered with 4 valves per cylinder, and I believe still 1 spark plug per cylinder. But the gas milage should be better than what I get.
What’s the gas milage on a Ranger 4 cyl?
It’s the 2.3 4cyl. 5 speed manual. Truck has only had 3 oil changes done, brakes once, and maybe an air filter. No other problems with the truck, it runs like a champion. Getting around 24 mpg on highway, maybe 20 on city streets, but again the truck isn’t totally in tune.
