[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 536577, member: 52972"] Have someone like AutoZone check your ECU (for free) for the error code that all CEL lights will store in their memory. Depending on what the code is, it may me covered under the Federal Emissions warranty for 8 years or 80K miles. Not all parts are covered but the major parts and the most expensive ones are usually covered but Ford has to determine what part may be failing. If it's something simple like the DPFE or vacuum hose, it's p[retty easy to fix yourself. Without the Error Code causing the CEL nobody can help you. Also, diconnecting the batter for about 15 minutes will clear the error codes and the CEL light, however depending on what is causing the CEL, the light may come back on in within a few seconds after the engine is started, while some may take several miles of driving before the CEL comes back on. So if you go that route, disconnect your battery and see how long the light stays off when you reconnect the battery and start your truck. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
