For those that haven't been reading my posts on the forum. I just picked up another new old truck it's a 94 super cab 4 L manual 4 wheel drive. We even placed the transmission over the weekend. That part while terribly difficult for an old broad and an old guy that still has all the tools and jacks for the work actually went pretty well!
Ok questions.
Where do I find the test connector on the 1990 Ford Ranger 4.0? I understand it's a blinking light read out.
Are these worth having? https://www.ebay.com/p/Innova-3145-Digital-Obd1-Code-Reader-for-Ford/2256086897
This truck also has the RABS system on the brakes and of course that light is on also. And I also understand that code can be read out by shorting out the module in it certain plug under the dash?
In the meantime I may check and see if we short it or burned oxygen sensor wires or any other wiring when we were doing the mechanical work.
Truck ran really well, when test driving and when we test drove the truck before I bought it and took it to my friends house!
Well this morning I jumped in said truck to make the trip back to my house (a little over a hundred mile trip on the turnpike.)
Within a half an hour the CEL came on and stayed on, and probably sent into engine into limp mode? it was sucking up gas like it had a hole in the tank and really running strange but I did make it home!
And of course it's raining and cold again. Bad news depending how you look at it? I have 2 old trucks! Good news? (depending on how you look at it) I can drive one while the other is being worked on!
