On my 1988 f250 I do not have the grey single connector. Is this just a
ground wire? Can I just ground the other plug to do this diagnostic check?

Jennies Garage says:

Thanks! The codes are always helpful to point you in the right direction
for figuring out whats wrong.

Mike Blankenship says:

Excellent Video! Working on my father in laws truck. This worked great to
give me the codes I needed to explore. Thank you!

Edwin Sanchez says:

Great video. I have a 93 f150. 4.9L. I have to codes. 998 and 118. I
replaced the tps and put back the original bulds on instrument panel. I
disconnected the battery for about and hour and even over night but the
check engine light came back on. With same codes. My question is how do I
reset the computer. Please help.

Jim McKenzie says:

Unplug the mass air flow sensor, and start the engine. if it stays running,
the mass air flow sensor is bad.

Jennies Garage says:

Disconnecting the battery should clear the codes. 118 is the ECT sensor,
and 998 is hard fault, which could be related to the coolant sensor or
associated wiring.

10th Viewer 3rd Like Thank You for the time you spent on this Video!
Chevrolet can be checked in much the same way!

Jennies Garage says:

That is simple!

What about a 95 ford thunderbird v8 I’m encountering a lil bit of smoke out
my exhaust an was told my fuel system is running a little rich

Logan Hunter says:

so i tried it and the code was 4141 but when i took out the paperclip it
zapped/shocked and the truck died. it wont stay running longer than 5
seconds. its a v-6 2.9. what could it be?

Izmolio1 says:

You said to turn right then left which you did the first time but the
second time you turned left then right. I’m guessing it doesn’t matter
which way you turn first as long as you turn both directions?

Jennies Garage says:

I think It can be done on any pre-OBDII Ford

Jennies Garage says:

Happy to help out, thanks!

LCCharlie says:

A few years back I purchased an OBD-1 Ford code reader from Amazon for
around $25 from Amazon. I also bought the long extension for reading the
codes from the car, however, it’s not necessary. It works well.

Jennies Garage says:

Wow! Blast from the past!!

Dinglefro says:

I hate doing this, and know it a little to good! SHO owners know where I’m
coming from.

i think he ment cars from 1990 to 1995

idahomountainelk says:

Cool, I can’t wait to try this on my new 1994 F250.

Mason Teribury says:

What if I can’t start the car ?

blackoutvirus says:

Thankz man I’m about to try this on my 94 cougar

Jennies Garage says:

Oh, that brings back memories! I had a 1986 trans am when I was younger,
and it was always acting up. There’s nothing like the romantic yellow glow
of the service engine soon light. I kept a paper clip in the center
console, and had the terminals under the dash memorized…

Kirk Ragland says:

Thanks man I remember my dad doing this when I was a kid, but now days
nobody knows what I’m talking about or how to do it. I drive a 1990 f-150
so this was a really big help. Thank you again.

David Puga says:

Can i do this on 1994 grand marquis…

Jennies Garage says:

Code 41 is an O2 sensor code I think. I don’t know why the paperclip would
arc or shock you, it’s a very low voltage connection.

Jennies Garage says:

Congrats on the new ride, and thanks for the kind words!
