hi so i just recently picked up a 99 ford ranger, regular cab, 4x4, 3.0l automatic engine with 127k miles. so forgive me if i am asking dumb questions, i am new to ford rangers, this being my first one and all.
so my first question is, i went to get my ranger inspected and the guy said it wasnt connecting with the machine, i wasnt any of the fuses, and it wasnt the machine, he checked both. is it a faulty cpu or something, any ideas?
my second question is the when going down the high way the truck wont really go past 3k rpms. i can put the pedal to the floor and it just stays at 3k, in first and second it will go past 3k, maybe 3.5-4k in first gear before it shifts. but after that i can have it floored and wont go past 3k. is this normal? or is it a bad fuel pump? or maybe the same issue causing the OBD machine (if thats what its called) not being able to read?
please help,
oh and one last thing, i am new to the forum so if i posted in the wrong section im sorry.
