Howdy all!
I’d love some help interpreting the engine codes I’ve got; I’ll give a brief rundown,the Ranger’s specs, a code list, and my thoughts.
Recently bought a 93 Splash, drove fine from dealer, but gives intermittent CEL whenever I go about 60mph or higher. CEL sometimes disappears during these highway speeds, but always disappears once I’m back in town for a minute. (35-40mph)
Specs:
1993 Ranger, Splash trim, 4.0L V6, Automatic, 2WD, 25k miles (previous, original owner was a collector, and babied this thing!)
Codes:
KOEO- 111
CM- 185, 186 (MAF low, Injection Pulse Width Circuit high)
KOER- 536, 538 (BOO circuit not activated during KOER, throttle movement during test)
My Thoughts:
What concerns me more are the KOEO codes. The KOER codes I think are my fault not understanding the KOER sequence. I could have sworn that I should only do the wheel turn/brake pump etc if I get a 998 code in the first part of the test. Maybe something else is triggering the 546/538…
Anyways, MAFs I know can be finicky, so the 185 didn’t really surprise me. The 186, though…can’t say I’ve read exactly what that pulse width circuit is. What I *have* read through, other folks with a 186 seem to narrow down to a fuel delivery issue of some kind (injectors, fuel filter/pump, O2 sensors, etc).
Your Thoughts: I’d love to hear em! Have any of you experienced similar codes? Am I correct to start following the fuel delivery? Any quick, simple things I’m overlooking?
thank you in advance!!
