code 176 thanks FTE
Had some issues with another ranger today, 2000 3.0 auto. It shut down in traffic and at one point was blowing out black smoke running rich (thought it was running on ethanol)
First my code reader wouldn't even light up, searched here and found out I needed to check fuse 17, which was the problem.
Then got code 176, flex fuel switch/circuit searched again read Rockledges post here

Was ready to hit the Pic n pull to see if I could find a switch since rumor is its $500. but then though I better follow Rockledges list and make sure I was getting a ground and power. Turns out the plug was full of water, blew it all out with the air hose and all is well. Thanks again Rockledge and FTE.

Try finding another post with Rockledge in it and give him a few rep points using the "scales" up at the top right corner of the post. Those are always appreciated and a great way to show that someone did you right:
And fixing things is very typical of him, expect nothing less.

It's good to hear that the forum is helping you save time and money.
