goes into gear, does not move...much

ive got a Ford Ranger 2.5 liter, 2wd standard.
My issue is after engaging the clutch and putting it into gear, it only rev's and moves slightly back and forth and doesnt throw any codes, ive replaced fuel pump, cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor and replaced plugs and leads.... any ideas?

You're working on stuff that makes it run, it sounds like it already runs, try replacing the clutch. And like thefishguy said, buy a Toyota, or a heated tailgate so your hands don't get cold in the winter when you're pushing it!

Don't buy a Toyota. They need to be in the hands of somebody who, at a minimum, has the knowledge to somewhat correctly diagnose a problem.

Your issue sounds very much like a bad clutch. While not likely, I have seen a clutch pedal pushrod jam in a master cylinder before and leave the clutch disengaged.

Kolton, That happened to me last weekend on my way to go ramble (91 22re pickup 4x4) , just swapped the master cylinder 4 months prior! simple fix but you may need to adjust the clutch pedal position or it won't shift into gear no matter how hard you fight it
