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.
