Sorry guys, wrong section - moved to TSB's

Hi, Like some others on this forum my PX suffers from the above problem. Here are the PCM details...

Part Number: EB3G-12A650-KC (Latest Known: EB3G-12A650-BTV)
Strategy: EB3G-14C204-BTG
Hardware: EB3A-12B684-DC

Transmission Details...
Part Number: EB3P-12B565-AB (Latest Known: EB3P-12B565-CF)
Strategy: EB3P-14C337-CD

Got the car going into Ford on Wednesday for ABS bleed and maybe if there is a PCM update then that also.

Thanks.

If it comes good when coolant temp reaches 40c then update should fix it, did for mine.

Update to BTV and the issue will be resolved. BTG always had this issue.

How will PCM updates effect a remap if at all?

Typically, a module software update by Ford will overwrite all information in the module. A tune in the PCM would be lost.

Could you elaborate?
I can see my injector learn values/counts and the Ranger goes through the learn cycle successfully.
What are you doing with the injector learn value?

Ford did the software update and not had a problem since. My glow plugs are fine.
