2.3L ENGINE - INTERMITTENT LONG CRANK

FORD:
2007-2008 Ranger

ISSUE
Some 2007-2008 Ranger vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine may exhibit an intermittent long crank. This condition can be created if some of the necessary spark events are missed during engine start. This will not create any other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) or drivability issues, and is only evident during engine cranking.

ACTION
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 56.6 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2008.7 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
