somewhat confused need assistance
OK now here is the problem and the current situation.... I have an 03 ranger edge with a few upgrades they are as follows in relation to this problem.. dual exhaust with a K&n cold air charger kit and now a jet performance module...... The problem is that the check engine light is on.... the report states i am running lean the light started once i installed the cold air kit and for the record so far the jet chip is USELESS no noticeable gains and the check engine light came back on....... I am now using 91 octane fuel in the engine as recommended but this dam check engine light keeps coming on!!!! any suggestions or recommendations to solve this problem any suggestions will be considered no matter how cheap or costly the solution may be

OK guys i will try these solutions whenever i wake up and any further possible solutions would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming very aggrevating to disconnect and reconnect the negative. The problem occurs regularly everytime i redline the rpms.... And for anyone interested with these upgrades i went toe to toe with a 96 four door accord last night that has been modified as well. The owner stated he is pushing over 200 h.p. but for some reasons i had my doubts because the truck kept up with a set of HEAVY 20" rims on that are NOT for racing!!!!!!!!! can you beleive it!!!!! 
More pics of my ride will be posted very soon in the galleries section....

Your jet chip is junk (no offence). Your computer isn't compensating for your mods, mainly the intake. E-mail or call Doug at bama chips.com. He specalizes in ranger programers, and he does wonders. My 99 f-150 did the same thing with the k&n intake, headers, and exhaust. I took it to a half a**ed machanic, he put a fuel regulator on it, and mess with the programing a little. It ran better, but nothing like my ranger with mods, and a bama programer, it's awesome!!

and you won't have to wait a half hour. Just remember, DO NOT short the
battery terminals, just the cables together!!!

you are providing a discharge current path. Another thing you can do is turn the headlights on, or push on the brake pedal, and that will do it also....
