Hello. I have had several issues with my 99 Ranger and have always gotten good information from these forums.
Recently, I replaced all 3 O2 Sensors on my 99 Ranger Flex 3.0 XLT.
The Check Engine Light came off and the truck was running perfect. Then abruptly 2 months later I start getting check engine codes:
1. P0141 FIrst Code received 2 months after installing the new O2 sensors
2. P0136 Second code one month later...
My questions are does anyone know or could help me troubleshoot what might cause the O2 sensors to fail so quickly? I thought it might be just a faulty sensor but I did buy Motorcraft replacements and with multiple codes I am thinking that I need to discover what might be wrong that could "Cause" the o2 sensors to fail quickly...If I replace them again I an thinking they will just fail again.
I am no where near a Pro. I just fix my own cars/trucks. Any suggestions, advice or direction on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
