I'm not sure if I'm supposed to start a new thread or post on my old one but anyway, I'm the guy with the 03 ranger 3.0 that has a rough idle. I took it in to the dealership today. They said their diaog shows the MAF(new from Advance) is giving a bad reading like my truck is at an elevation 4000 ft. above actual. I returned the MAF to advance for another one and the dealer then recalibrated the PCM but still no luck,truck still has a "quiver" as they called it.
They also did a compression test which was good. They suggest a motorcraft MAF ($216) to rule out the possibility of cheap reman sensors or drive the truck until the check engine comes on then bring it back in to them for free diaognostic. Their top tech said if he didn't know better he would say I have a misfire condition but there is no code so he is scratching his head. I am wondering what to do next. The advance guy won't give me a refund but will swap out the sensor one more time. What are the chances of 3 of their sensors being bad out of the box? What I need is a known good sensor to plug in just to test with. Maybe junkyard time? Sorry this so long.Help!!!
