I have to apologize now, this is a little long winded. I have a 92 Ranger 3.0 2wd automatic, and today while I was driving it the check engine light came on. I noticed that the temp gauge was slowly climbing as well, though this may have nothing to do with the issue. It was hot outside.
Anyway, while I was driving the engine cut out completely. I dropped it into neutral and was able to start my truck right back up. A couple miles later, the check engine light came back on. This time I was right by an Autozone and pulled in there to have them check the codes for me. Come to find out the dumb*sses there don't HAVE a code reader for a 92 Ranger, so I had to hope I could make it home to get mine. This time, my truck didn't want to start. It finally did, and I made it home. Halfway there, the check engine light came back on but the truck didn't die.
When I pulled the codes, I got a KOEO code of 542, Fuel Pump Secondary Circuit Fault. The CM code I got was 512, KAM failure. The funny thing is, when I checked the memory of my code reader, it is also showing a code of 511, ROM failure, but it doesn't show whether this is KOEO or CM. Either way, I'm stuck and really don't know what to check first. When I turn the key on but don't start it, I hear the fuel pump whir and hear the relay under the hood click. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
