Check Engine Light

My check engine light came on the other day.
The truch is running fine so I decided to try to pull the codes. But I cant find the test port. I looked for almost an hour.

I must be stupid or blind or both. Can any post a picture of where the Test port is? All I can find on the net is "Passenger side fire wall".


I hope this hasnt been posted a million times. I did a search and read the FAQ but wasnt able to find anything.

Thanks

Get in the zone. AutoZone. Seriously, they'll do it for free and if you need to purchase anything, you'll be right there!

The '95s have the OBD-II style test port which is inside the cab, under the drivers' side dash. Some '95 Rangers are fully OBD-II compliant, while others are not. 1995 was a transition year between OBD-I and OBD-II.

Code 1443. Evaportive Emmisions control system valve.


The guy at autozone said it was a leaking Gas cap????

Anyone with the book able to check that for me?


Thanks

Is the cap broken or loose? I doubt it. The parts store people like to say "gas cap" every time they see an EVAP code, but 99% of the time it has nothing to do with that.

Here's the real scoop:

Just a good guess....that's probably the purge valve on the evaporative emissions canister that code 1443 refers to.

I love, too, how everyone at the parts store starts guessing "gas cap" every time a CE light flashes.
