If service was performed on a 1986 Ford Ranger 2.9L and the code is still showing up, the computer should be reset. Disconnect the positive cable on the battery for a few seconds. This should take care of the problem.
I have the same problem on my 1998. I just replaced the serpentine belt and it still happens. When I turn on the A/C it gets worse. Any ideas what's causing it?
your control module is bad
do you have fuel pressure. engine should start and run with spark on only one side.
Is the white smoke coming out of your tailpipe when the engine is warmed up ? If so , it sounds like coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket , warped or cracked head
maf sensor or idle air control/ecm. force-clean fuel injectors and reset engine timing and base idle
It could be anything from the engine to the connectors
sounds like your gauge is broken or there is a short in wiring
You need to reset the light by using diagnostic equipment even though the part was replaced the fault code will still be stored in the ECU memory.
possible it could be the cam shaft position sensor or it could be the control module in the distributor.
Did you replace /check the seats also?
Yes, in 1992 the engine was modified to a "roller" motor and is still this today. You will have some differing belts and pulley's but these can be swaped to your newer/older ones.
Depends on your powertrain warranty. If it's still covered, you should be golden.
