you can't use the autozone OBD tool unless its a 1996 or later. I was told to find a dealer.
EDIT.....Not true....you can pull the codes off of that vehicle by yourself using a paperclip & and counting the number of flashes that your "Check Engine" light gives off.
Simply search any "Ford Truck", "Ford" or "Ford Engine" forums to get a list of the fault codes that correspond to the number of flashes that you count while performing this.
Turn key on- off-on-off-on and count the long flash and the short flash. Looong-short-short = 12
A 1985 Ford Ranger ( all engine sizes ) came WITH and WITHOUT air conditioning
All 1995 and later model vehicles require an OBDII scanner tool to retrieve the trouble codes.
A little more information please Size of engine , with or without air conditioning in your 1997 Ford Ranger
I'm certainly NOT a mechanic but .... since the trouble codes are stored in the vehicle's on-board computer I doubt that there IS any way to retrieve them without a device and a program that can "read" the car's computer.
A little more information please ( size of engine , with or without air conditioning ) on your 1997 Ford Ranger
yes
This request cannot be answered without information on the engine application of the vehicle.
If you are debating on whether or not you want to buy a Ford Ranger, then it is useful to know the engine size. The Ford Ranger is available, with a V6 engine.
They can be mixed.
The Ford Ranger engine number can be found on the engine identification plate. The engine identification plate can be found on the engine block.
No , the 2.5 liter - 4 cylinder engine in a 1998 Ford Ranger IS NOT an interference engine
