Hi,
I bought a 1997 ranger with an oil pressure problem. I pulled the engine out and pulled the camshaft position sensor. the gear was stripped in one spot. I put an electric drill to the oil pump and it pumped a steady 60 lbs of pressure.
I put in a new CPS and installed a new set of spark plugs. I installed the engine. After installing the engine I started it up. It now has a skip. I checked all the wires and the ignition coil and they are ok. I pulled all of the wires and replaced them one at a time and when I did the drivers side, there was no difference. But when I did the same to the pass side, it made a little difference.
I then pulled all 3 wires off the drivers side and there was no difference. I replaced the wires on the drivers side and did the same on the pass side. The engine almost stalled. That to me shows that I should have a problem on the drivers side.
Here is what I don't get!!
I checked with a code reader and it shows a reading of P0171.
HELP!!!
