Truck help 1991 Ford Ranger rpm?
So i have a couple problems i need to address. I noticed when driving my truck my rpms seem to be a little off. Its a manual so for example, when i'm in 3rd gear going 35 mph usually my rpms are about 2,100. Lately after it warms up the rpms are dropping 300-400 rpms. So when i'm in 3rd gear instead of 2,100 its like 1,700 or 1,800. If that makes sense. I just had clutch and slave cylinder replaced. I've also noticed kind of a burning smell thought it might be low on clutch fluid checked that and it seemed fine… Any help?

- When I start my truck my RPM's are very low (almost stalling) until I tap the gas? I'll start the truck and the RPMs will sometimes automatically go to below 1 then start dying out. I have to tap the gas quick and the RPM's will jump to around 3 then it will start the idle process. The truck runs fine otherwise I'm just concerned it might cause future problems. Is my throttle just getting stuck or something? 2003 Ford Ranger 2.3 4 Cyl Standard 160,000 Miles
- 1991 Ford Ranger heat shield? My heat shield was removed for other repairs and left off by mechanic. Can someone explain to me, as if I were a child, where it goes and how to put it back on?
- What RPM should my car idle while driving and what RPM should I shift? I have a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. 5 speed manual transmission. This is not the first manual car I've owned, but I'm curious. I never really look but I've read in some places that in order to save gas you should shift at 2 RPM before I used to shift at around 3-3.5 RPM. Also what's a good RPM my car should idle at while I'm in gear? Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear. What's the ideal RPM to stay at before needing to shift.
- How to play my ipod music a 1991 truck? I have an old truck and an iPod touch. The truck doesn't have a USB plugin, it just has an am/fm radio. Is there a way I could play music from my iPod in my 1991 ford truck?
