So I finally got around to pulling codes. While the Bronco is driving, over the weekend something just did not feel right. I know its nothing major but something is off. It all happened after hooking up the AC unit. At first I forgot to put the PCV hose back in which I pulled out to make space to hook up the AC lines. After putting the PCV back on it got better but something is still off. By off I mean that at idle it sounds like it wants to die and while coasting downhill its doing the same thing. To combat that temporarily I just turned the screw at the throttle cable to keep the RPM higher. Someone mentioned that the exhaust smells a bit rich.

Its a 302 with an RJM harness and a A9M computer. The code reader is a Ford code reader by Innova:

Here are the codes:

KOEO:
81, 82, 85, 84

KOER:
12, 21, 94, 44, 33

The high RPM can be explained because I increased it. So the only non soft code is 21 (ECT sensor out of test range 0.3~3.7 volts) Can a faulty ECT cause this?

Yeah, it's not something you can skim over & grasp immediately. ;D But you can skim over it & pick out the stuff that interests you, and what applies to your setup, and then come back to it later.
