The coil pack replace under a TSB was replaced by a new TSB. So now I have had my 3 coil packs installed. 2. The computer is screwed up so they ordered a new one. I wish they did this the first time, I would not have had to bring the truck in 8 times for spark knock. To recap it was reprogrammed 3 times by Ford with different spark and fuel curves. I really hope this fixes this truck or else it is going by-by. My 93 never had a problem but this 99 has spent a good 2 months in the shop to fix "TSB" type problems. Ford should of left a good thing alone. -----Original Message----- From: perf-list-bounce [mailto:perf-list-bounce Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 7:12 PM To: perf-list Subject: [perf-list] Re: engine codes I wish that was true, but my fuel mileage has dropped to 10 GPM down from 18.

Is there anyway >of reading the codes via the light, I do not have a tester. > I'm sorry to say you're probably out of luck ... unless the light is flashing ... on the plus side, the check engine light on these OBDII cars is hooked mostly into the emissions system and will only pull a few degrees of timing. If the car goes into "limp" mode (IE major loss of power and performance), then you should not drive it, otherwise its probably an inefficient catalytic > converter or a failing rear O2 sensor ... the Mustang guys drive around with that light on for months with no ill effects (other than a loss of timing), so unless the trucks manners have changed a lot, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Truck is a 94 4.0L 5 spd. just turned 94k; it runs like a champ. Anyway, I've been noticing that at idle the oil pressure gauge rides at about the R in that good ole Ford "NORMAL" (you know, the one that spans about 90% of the gauge, into ranges no one would dream of seeing as normal). Well, that's cool with me except that it never moves save for maybe AT MOST 1/8th of an inch when the revs come up (probably less than that). Is this maybe just a gauge problem or should I be concerned?? I think dad had to go have the sender replaced under warranty not long after we bought the truck (new) because it was reading very low all the time. Maybe should I try installing an aftermarket gauge??
