From the top....
Restoring and almost done with a 2004 Ford Ranger XL with 107,000 miles. Replaced the badly dented pickup box with a Texas used box after restoring. While the old box was off I somewhat cleaned up the frame to a basic degree. Installed the new box. Life is good. I have driven it for a year now and about a month ago, the "check engine" light came on. I pulled the positive cable off overnight, hooked it up the next day and the light was of course, off. Drove the Ranger for a good month with no check engine light returning. A couple days ago, the check engine light popped on. Thought about it... and the first time the light came on was after I put in $20 worth of gas. Then I shut off the light, and this time, I again put in only $20 of gas and surprise, the check engine light came on again. My son brought his code reader and we just plugged it in and I had told him I bet it has something to do with the fuel system. Sure enough P0462....... I just finished reading all about it and wonder if anyone else has fixed this... Do I have to remove the box to get to the tank or can this be done by my mechanic on a lift? What else should I consider? Thanks for your help.....
