Re: [DMCForum] Re: Ford Focus mechanics? NOT D RELATED



buy a tester that plugs into the computer harness that the dealership
uses to get codes off your computer, they start about $60 for a tester.
i used one of these on my 89 ranger and found out i had a bad O2 sensor
and a bad EGR valve at the same time. the pressure sensor is usually on
the EGR valve (thats what the wiring harness plugs into on most valves).
