I have an 06 3.0 ranger. for about a month now it has been acting up. I've had the check engine light on for about 3 months but hadn't gotten around to checking the codes. Well, a month ago i'm sitting at a red light and suddenly the check engine light started blinking. Light turned green and I hit the gas, It barely moves. I have to keep pressing the gas until it gains power again. So i took it to the mechanic. I had him change the air filter, gas filter, spark plugs, liquids and reseal the differential because it had a leak. The problem persisted, so I went back. He told me that cylinder 3 and 5 are misfiring and that he thinks it's the injectors. Fine, unfortunatly its a $400+ fix and I don't want to waste it if it's not the issue. Anyway, the problem has gotten so bad that it happens on every red light that's longer than 15 seconds. I literally have to shut the truck off and restart it so it can go. Otherwise I have everyone honking at me while the truck is powering up. It's really annoying and irritating. Also, everytime I pump gas the light blinks as i'm leaving the gas station. Everytime!!! perhaps this can be a clue. The truck has 116k miles on it and i'm seriously considering an engine rebuild instead of wasting money on guesses from mechanics. Anyway, I know you guys are the experts and perhaps you can help me with my problem, or atleast shine some light on it. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. thanks guys.
