I must be wording this wrong because I cant find it on here or google. But how do you access the engine codes on a 1999 2.5 liter ranger?
I know how to get GM codes, either use the special metal "key" or jump a certain set of holes in the connector and watch the check engine light flash out the codes.
This is the first Ford Ive ever owned, and I need to figure out how to access these codes.
I was just in here a week or so ago with fuel pump questions. We changed the fuel pump, it ran for about a week and now right back to the same old thing. Ive read that the aftermarket pumps are junk and may work for a week or a month.
By depressing the Schrader valve, gas will shoot up only 3 or 3 inches high whether the key is just on or Im cranking it. Seems certain it should be under enough pressure to hit the bottom of the hood!
I thought Id try and see if there are any codes before we pull the tank tomorrow, just in case its something else.
Already checked fuses and put in a new fuel pump relay.
Thanks!
 
O.k., after much more reading, Im beginning to think this cant be done on anything newer than an early 90's vehicle. Must purchase a code reader. Cute. Well, the check engine light hasnt been coming on, so Im gonna suppose its a defective (new) fuel pump.
Wasnt anything wrong with the old pump, it was the little fuel line from the top of the pump to the top of the tank. It was busted. Ill put the old Ford pump back in there and see if it runs. If so, the new one is going back to O'reillys!
 
1999 is OBDII, you need a code reader there chief.
