Re: P0402 and rough idle

Thanks for the response Dan. It turns out the 'new' solenoid was bad. Replaced it and the code went away.

Re: 2000 ford ranger

We have hydraulic clutches. Have you checked the fluid.
An owners manual can be a good read.

Re: p1443

This is the first I've heard that P1443 is a O2 sensor. Consensus on other boards is that it is the purge valve sensor.

Re: Idle Air Control Valve

Get one with a 1 year warranty. If it lasts that long, you'll be good for a long time.

Re: Fuel Filter

I have a '96 XLT. What type of filter do I have? Hopefully the one with the regular hose clamp. I ordered the filter but haven't crawled under the truck to take a look at it yet.

I DID remove the vacuum hose from the top of the EGR valve and the idle smoothed out.

Any ideas? I hate...
