Have a 2002 Ford Ranger v6, when I turn it on and push the gas it makes this squeaking sound coming from the engine area. any idea what it can be?

Q: I have a 2002 Ford Ranger 4x4 with a 4.0L, what would cause both banks of my engine to run lean?
I have had issues with different check engine codes. I have an OBD2 scanner and recently found that I have both a P0171 and P0174 code. These codes are telling me that I am running lean on both banks of the motor. Problem is I don't know what would be causing this problem. I have also noticed that when sitting at a stop light, my engine idles funny. It will drop down to about 400 rpm and then go back up to about 700 or 800 rpm and sometimes bounce back down and then up again. Would this be associated with running lean? If so, what would be causing it to run lean?

A: YES IT WOULD. The 4.0L SOHC engines are EXTREMELY sensitive to vacuum leaks. You probably need to replace your rubber intake gaskets. They are not expensive if you buy the entire kit (part # YL2Z-9E473-AA) from the Ford dealer. The kit comes with ALL the rubber gaskets needed plus the timing chain tensioner for bank #2 cassette, which you do not need. The intake manifold is made out of plastic. Check for any vacuum leaks with the engine running at idle. You should definitely hear a "hissing" sound from the somewhere. To isolate the leak, use a bit of propane, or "tune-up cleaner" administer the substance to various potential sources for vacuum leaks. When you hear a reaction from the engine, that is where the leak is located. Repair as necessary. Hope this helps.

Q: 2002 ford ranger with air bag rediness light flashing what is the cause and will it deploy on its own?


A: By the light flashing, it is flashing a code for a repair that is needed. Without knowing how many times it is flashing, it is impossible to say what the cause is, and what repairs might be needed. No.....the air bag won't deploy by itself when this is happening, and the bad news is, it won't deploy in an accident either. The light will flash the first number then pause then the second number. it will do this 3 or 4 times, then probably stay on steady. I would recommend to get it repaired as it could be a HUGE liability if the truck is involved in an crash, whether you or driving or not... Hope it helps....
