Default Re: The "what do you hate about your Ranger today" thread

CEL keeps coming on in the 98 ranger.
Stupid stuff too.
P0340 cam sync sensor error...its a brand new cam sync and new sensor.
P0171 and P0174 running lean error. Got a stupid vac leak somewhere and cant find it.
I wonder if a broken airbox lid would cause this. The snaps are broken and it wont shut and seal.

True...but then again some air isnt getting filtered...that would dirty up the MAF too.

Im pretty sure its the maf tho.
I had the same issue on my 99...so i swaped the mafs between the trucks...that fixed it on the 99..now the problem is on the 98..so that indicates its the maf.

But when i had the problem on the 99 i also put in a new IAC too..

Hey, guys....I realize that most of you have been around long enough to understand each others abbreviations, but some of us don't have your exposure. I understand most of 'em. Help the newbies and post a list somewhere covering some of these abbreviations.

If you "hover" your cursor over an abbreviation - a little box will popup & it will tell you commonly used meanings.

For example - if you hover over IAC. It will tell you it means "Idle Air Control".

EDIT: Works on the website version only I believe.

If you are trying to go over 135mph (or much over even 85MPH) in a Ranger - I would hope that you have much more done to it than that.....










Including life insurance & funeral arrangements so your family doesn't need to be burdened due to your lack of judgment.
