Hello all, hoping for some help. My 93 ranger 4.0 has been running very poorly. It doesn't want to start. For some reason it only starts when its very warm out. Like above 80, and dry. I don't know why. If its cooler, it wont start, just cranks. When it does start, it runs very rough, and blows black smoke. I want to pull codes, but I seem to be missing the small plug that goes into the OBD1 scanner. The check engine light is on, so I know there are codes. I know its supposed to be with the large connector, but it is absolutely nowhere to be found. Since I haven't been able to get codes, I have been pretty much throwing parts at it. Changed plugs and wires, new fuel pump, and filter. New MAF, new idle air control valve, cleaned the grounds. Pulled out the coil, and cleaned it up. Today I pulled the computer out and looked for issues on the board. I have heard about the leaking capacitors, but found no evidence of it. Is there a way to test the computer while its out of the truck, or a way to get the codes while its out of the truck? It sucks I cant find that little connector anywhere. Is there a way to bypass it? Thanks for any help
