1999 Ford Ranger: check engine light

Filed Mar 25, 2009 · Engine · 50,000 miles · TX

Tl*the contact owns a 1999 ford ranger. For the past seven years, the contact could not determine why the check engine indicator would flash on and off. The mechanic could not figure out the issue as well. The contact eventually discovered that the aluminum dpfe valve was causing the check engine indicator to flash. The contact called the manufacturer because she heard that the dpfe valves were recalled; however, her VIN was not included. The contact feels this is a safety and environmental issue and that the manufacturer should repair the vehicle. The current mileage was 179,000 and failure mileage was 50,000.

In july 2008 engine light came on with code po442. Put new gas cap on and light was off until sept 2008 when it came on again with the same code. I cleared the code and the light came on again oct 2008 with code po455. I crawled under the truck and discovered the (fuel filler) tube is rusted out. Fuel leaks on ground when filling tank and the automatic nozzle shuts off. I believe this is a safety hazard. John

We have purchased 3 ford ranger pickups since 1992 and have always been happy with them but this last one has only 80,000 miles. On it and when we took it in for check when check engine light came on dealer said "new head gasket needed". So we took it home and to our own personal mechanic and he says "new engine needed". We have always had wonderful performance with these pickups and never less than 250,000 mi. On the engines. I just wanted this on record because I know it has to have been faulty engine and also to let you know that even with the good luck in the past, it is doubtful we'll take another chance with a ford pickup.
