Hi,
I own a 1996 Ford Ranger with 4.0 liter V6 engine/manual tranny and totally stock. The "check engine" light went on so I took it to a mechanic and his scan turned up a trouble code that indicated that the "RPM's" exceeded the calibrated limit for my vehicle. Has anyone heard of this? I don't know if this was foreign territory to mechanic or what but he ended up clearing the code from the computer - to see if it was just a fluke. Unfortunately after having it for a few days since he cleared the code the "check engine light" has come back on. The odd thing is that both times the check engine light came on there was no effect on the drivability of the vehicle. Tonight I drove around for about 20 minutes after the check engine light came on so at least I am not stuck. Has anyone heard of/experienced this with their Ranger before?
Thanks,
John
