Ford Ranger, engine management light?

[PeteB]

Could be dirty fuel semi blocking an injector which would give a poor explosion - giving the judder. Or maybe a pump issue, a sensor issue which would give a false reading etc...get it plugged in for a full report. Mine has run spot on since the reboot!

DPF regen  ?

Thanks for the response!

 

That sounds possible (with my limited knowledge) - my fuel light had come on before filling up the other day, so I suppose some bottom of the tank nasties could be interfering?

I like your guess providing it just needs cleaning as opposed to replacing- more than the bloke at the mechanic's saying possibility of a fuel injector- albeit based upon my pretty rough description.

Hey Pete, thanks for your thoughts! 

 

This has all happened within a week of an MOT with no advisories or any faults. Aside from mentioning on the phone an injector issue, he also said there was a chance it was something to do with the ECU. 

 

I'll let y'all know what happens with it.

Turns out to be an injector that needs replacing, hoping that warranty will cover it! If the dealer wants to pick up the phone anyway.
