So, back on May 4, coming home from work one fine rainy evening, raining so hard it was like driving in a lake, trucked stalled out on me a mile from home. Parked it, went back the next day, wouldn't start. I scanned for codes and had four usual codes, P0133, 0171, 0174, and 0401 (I know what they are). Also had a 0340 (Cam position sensor code). Ford programs the thing that if that code is present, it won't start due to assumed lack of oil pressure. So, I replaced it, still NADA. Pulled the negative terminal and let it sit for three days. Went back on a Saturday, May 7, hooked it up and it started right up.
Fast forward to today. Check engine light, which has been on forever (see above) is no longer on. Yes, it's on when the key is first turned on. Scanned it for codes, NONE. Five monitors are INC, EVAP, EGR, CATALYST, O2 Sensor and O2 Heater. Oddly enough, the EGR has been deleted, so that 0401 should light up the light. I've driven it more than a dozen times. You can't tell me that pulling the negative cable for three days fixed the slow o2 sensor, the lean bank 1 and 2, and the deleted EGR. But, I've put almost 300 hundred miles on it since I got it running May 7, and all codes are gone.
And btw, runs flat out awesome. Starts and runs like nothing is wrong.
WEIRD!!
