Often while driving both the Brake, & ABS warning light's come on, & remain on until shut-off / restart. The ABS Warning light does NOT blink, nor am I getting a Code Scan reading pertaining to any ABS system problem. Wondered if others have had this problem: and weather I should be concerned!!!

When disconnecting the fuel line "rear" Quick Disconnect ( To the tank) from the filter; does the Quick Disconnect seal off the line to the tank when the filter is removed, or does the tank have to be empty before replacing the filter? Thanks, Leigh

For the past Month or so, Though it cranked right up effortlessly, from a cold start; after stopping someplace for "awhile" it became problematic, requiring rapid pumps of the pedal to start. Yesterday, initially started, & drove normal, but after 2nd stop it wouldn't start. Tried all the...

Two weeks ago, started in neutral—Clutch-in-- Would not go into ANY gear----- With the engine Off—Went into all gears with minimal effort. A half hour later, I tried again, & it shifted normally—OK for a couple hundred miles “stop & Go” driving with no problems. Today, moved easily through...

Been having an intermittent, "slightly" rough at idle problem since I bought the truck used two years ago. All the spark plugs had been replaced just prior to my purchase. I'm getting a Check Engine Code 0304, which is a #4 Cyl. misfire. Trying to determine weather it's most likely...

On my 99 2.5L; in what I assume is the fuel return "pluming"; the tubing from the injection "system" passes through a component mounted in the engine compartment, drivers side, near the fender edge. Other than the fuel inlet & outlet nipples, there is a vacuum line (possibly a vacuum shut-off...

I had a Check Engine light, scanned with my Actron OBD ll, and got a P1506: "Idle Air Control Overspeed Error" Though I've seen where others were successful cleaning the IAC; I decided to replace it with a new Autozone Duralast TV245, and erased the code. Now, just after two days, and very...

I just bought this truck, and am far from familiar with it. I'm having a problem locating the PVC valve in "this" engine. This post: http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2123&highlight=PCV+valve+location Indicated that it was "above "the" spark plug, next to the fuel...
