Hey Howdy,

I have a 1999 3.0L Ranger with the V code in the VIN. I am thinking this is the Flex code. Among many fixes I bought injectors from FleaBay that looking back at the purchase - I am thinking they are gas injectors.

Idles rough, crap acceleration when cold, long term trims are 25, I have battery drained the PCM several times. I have Lean codes both banks. Given that you name it, I have checked it or fixed it....Do I just need to change to Flex injectors? It is not clear to me when I look at OEM sites for parts which injectors are which. I got some 'OEM PN' from RockAuto, but they do not match with the Ford OEM part sites.

Injector recommendations? I do not want to pay $60ea.

Thanks!
Nick


I picked up this POS in the fall last year. Just for background many things fixed:
-Plugs & Coil
-Upper and lower intake gaskets
-Was three different types of injectors - replaced
-All possible Vacuum leak stuff:
-PCV and hose, EGR Check, Evap hose,
-Brake booster (was bad)
-MAS, IAC, Intake plenum, O2
Also, I looked in the case of the PCU and nothing burned or broken.

Did your fleabay injectors come from a company with an easily recognizable name that also has a reputation for making quality parts like Bosch, denso, delphi.. orrrrrr was the manufacturer name closer to MeiSoHuard or TuTuPupu?

Are you running "regular" fuel from the pump (e10/15) or are you actually running "flex fuel"?

What's your scanner say your injector duty cycle is while going WOT down the road?

Injectors aren't something to cheap out on. If "real" injectors cost 60 bucks... Well... Then that's just the cost of repair 🤷🏻‍♀️.
 
LOL - Thanks for the reply.
Regular gas e10 I believe.
I will check the scanner (What's your scanner say your injector duty cycle is while going WOT down the road?)
Any thoughts on the dif in injectors? I do assume that they are cheep, but functional.
Thanks again.
