My Ranger d is not happy with the cold mornings in SW WA.

Its starts fine and after about 2 minutes the idle drops and it starts missing. It wont rev, is not running on all cyl.

Once it gets to 40c on the OBD link app its fine and is fine all day.

Does the customer pay for this fix?

It is a service bulletin and not a recall.

Dealer discretion if out of warranty. It is only a PCM update at he end of the day.

Thanks mate, I've got it sorted. Ford are covering the cost.
