Ford RangerMore than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.
My problem started when i desided to make a custom intake for my 2.5L ranger(2000). After i installed it, it ran great for 3 days untill my check engine light came on. So i put the stock intake back on and thought that it might turn the light off... its been 4 days and it still hasent turned off...
buy or borrow an OBDII diagnostic scanner, find out what code(s) it gives you and that should pin-point your problem. Iv'e had the "check engine" light come on for quite a few reasons on my 99 4.0L 4x4 (usually after driving hard, it off road). but sometimes it goes away on its own but don't wait too long because it might be someting that can cause serious problems
Some auto parts stores will hook up an OBDII scanner and get the code for you. There are several websites that will give you the explanation of the codes if the store can't explain it. Its a good idea to look up the code on your own anyway. Good luck.
