Re: OT -- Ford Question, Check Engine Light
My local parts store "said" they can't read my EEC4, but they have a tool
for $35 that can. I bought the tool.
It says that the Bank 1 Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen sensor (is this the same
as the O2 Sensor?) detects a lean condition.
My Bronco has 120k miles, of which I racked up 200 of them, so I have no
problem with the notion that the O2 Sensor, Bank 1, is bad. My truck did
pass smog, twice, in the past 6 weeks or so.

I've found the O2 sensor can have a dramatic impact on economy. When they
start to drift the engine usually runs rich. I'd check the connectors though.

That would be logical. Might want to change all of them out, if one is going
bad the others may soon follow.
