My Ranger coded a couple misfires, and I took it in to see if new spark plugs and wires would do it. It did for awhile then maybe 5,000-10,000 miles later the check engine light came back on, and it was another 3 misfires. My mechanic said it'll need new cylinder heads, but that it could also be the valves not sealing properly, and to get a leak down test. What can I expect for repairs, and cost?
SOURCE: 2002 Ford Ranger check engine light indicating misfire
Code P0301
Ignition Coil Pack
Ignition Cable
Spark plug
Clog or dirty fuel injector
Evap canister purge valve
Engine Compression

you have 3 type of engine for your truck
2.3L 4 cylinder
3.0L 6 Cylinder
4.0L 6 Cylinder

The reason why the service light come on because it is a hard code
not a soft code.
Let me know
ENGINE MISFIRE
There are few possibilities that can cause engine misfire
issues. It can be issue with spark plugs or faulty spark plugs. Also get the
compression test done for cylinders. If any of cylinder shows low compression
then required, then that particular cylinder will cause misfire.
Also get obd codes scanned, the error code will let you know
which cylinder is misfiring or all cylinders are misfiring.
