Question i had my 2002 ford ranger put on a computer and it states the following problem. P0171 bank 1 P0171 bank 2 P0300 random misfire. it will idle very fast and most times it will stop.
also does this model have platinum plugs. help desperately needed using lots of gas
thanks
Answer it sounds like you may have a bad crank sensor, which sends the signal to the coil packs, either way it sounds like a irregular firing signal. it could be any one of the following causing the problem; bad crank sensor, bad coil packs (doubtful) a few bad plug wires, or a gummed up TPS (throttle position sensor)
