94 Ranger XLT 4.0L EEC test results help
Ok, first off my symptoms. It didn't really seem to matter what speed I was going or if I was going uphill, downhill, or flat. This issue seemed to come at random. The check engine light would light up and I would lose almost all power and could barely go 25 MPH. I could floor it with absolutely no effect. So I ran self EEC tests in KOEO and got these results 111, 181, 212, 232. No I'm not much of a mechanic, but I'm trying to figure some of this stuff out on my own as I don't have a lot of dough to be forking over. I know the codes mean systems pass, adaptive fuel rich limit is reached at part throttle (right side), IDM circuit failure/SPOUT circuit grounded, and PCM detected coil 1, 2, 3, or 4 primary circuit failure respectively, but to be honest, I really don't know what those mean. Maybe a fuel pump problem or a coil problem? What else should I check in conjunction with these codes to help me determine what I need to do. Lamen's terms please and pics would be extremely helpful! Thanks so much.

1st., check engine light with a side of cardiac arrest, means "limp mode"
2nd., fuel limit right side, IDM circuit failure, and unkwn coil failures.
These are bulk symptoms, and by them being random it means your've got a short curcuit happening, (for reference carry on a conversation with any female on this planet). From this I would say that being that it is random and therefore not fuel related, I would replace the ICM (Ignition Control Module).

Wow I got all that out semi-coherently. Yea for me!

I'd also check for any broken wires grounding out. One bad connection, or short, and it could cause all those symtoms simultaneously.

Thanks for the replies. And I'm married with 3 kids AND in the Army, so believe me, I know about all that randomness and whatnot you're talking about 02'4.04x4.

Well it sounds like you're a busy man. I am a 9.5 year Army Ranger Vet. Never had time or the patience for the kids though. I seem to be to particular for myself I don't want to make kids suffer that. . .
