Ranger

  • 34,000 miles
2006 Ford Ranger 3.0L-2V vulcan engine. Mil on various misfire related dtc's P0300 - PO306 and P0316 Ford technical service bulletin reference number: 05-26-3 date of issue 12/31/05 my 2006 Ranger with 35,000 mi displays all for the issues indicated on this tsb. This malfunction causes the mil lamp to continually display trouble codes P0302 and P0316. Because of this, my vehicle will not pass the NY state emissions inspection. The tsb states that if diagnostic tests indicate an engine exhaust valve seat recession, the cylinder heads will need to be replaced. I brought the vehicle to a Ford dealership. They did the diagnosis and stated that the issue seemed to be the one outlined in the tsb. They also stated that the parts were not covered by either the new vehicle or emissions warranty coverage. I called the Ford consumer hotline & received the same information.
