Hey guys:
I'm having some trouble with my "new" reman engine that I got back about one week ago. Aside from it having to go right back to the dealer after the first 15 minutes I got it back with a botched heater core hose, it hasn't been running correctly. My symptoms are hestitation when hitting the throttle, little power, and an unstable idle. I'm getting boost and everything, but this thing feels slower than a Ford Ranger when trying to go from 0 to 60! Anyway, yesterday I went WOT and when the revs settled down the check engine light came on for 10 seconds and went out. So, today I pulled the following codes:
117 - ECT sensor signal voltage is too high
176 - HEGO sensor - voltage signal indicates lean
542, 543, and 556 - all these point to the fuel pump
Now maybe I'm crazy, but after being raped by my Ford dealer, should I be faced with these issues? That aside, could the fuel pump situation just be a bad relay in the trunk? Or...should I just take this *$#&-in thing back to Ford, especially since it's warranted? I'm so sick of this car's problems.
Thanks for any help,
John
