Precision Ford Engine Diagnostics & Repair



Decode Your Dashboard with Factory-Certified Experts


There is nothing more stressful than seeing the "Check Engine" light illuminate on your dashboard. Is it a loose gas cap, or is your transmission failing? In Abilene, Arrow Ford is your trusted partner for decoding these warning signals. We move beyond simple code reading to provide comprehensive engine diagnostics that identify the root cause of the problem. This approach saves you time and money on unnecessary repairs.

When that amber light comes on, your vehicle is trying to tell you something. Ignoring it can lead to decreased fuel economy, higher emissions, and potential mechanical failure.


Common Warning Signs We Diagnose


Your vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) system monitors thousands of data points every second. We commonly diagnose issues related to several key symptoms:

Lights & Performance

Check Engine Light (CEL): A solid light usually indicates an emissions issue, while a flashing light indicates a severe engine misfire. Stop driving immediately if the light is flashing.

Rough Idling or Stalling: Often caused by vacuum leaks, dirty fuel injectors, failing spark plugs, or a clogged throttle body.

Power & Efficiency

Reduced Power (Limp Mode): If your truck feels sluggish, it may have entered a safety mode to protect the engine from further damage.

Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden drop in MPG can signal oxygen sensor failures or mass airflow sensor issues causing your engine to burn excess fuel.

The Arrow Ford Diagnostic Advantage


Many auto parts stores in Abilene will read your code for free. However, a code only tells you what happened, not why it happened. For example, a "System Too Lean" code could mean a bad O2 sensor, a vacuum leak, or a failing fuel pump. Replacing parts based on the code alone is essentially gambling with your money.

Advanced Ford Technology

We utilize Ford-specific tools like the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) and the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). These allow us to see data that generic scanners miss.

Our certified technicians are trained to interpret live data streams, like looking at fuel trim levels, sensor voltages, and firing patterns, to ensure we fix the problem right the first time.


From Sensors to Major Repairs


Whether you need a simple sensor replacement or a complex engine repair, our team handles it all.

We work on all Ford engines, including the 5.0L Coyote V8, the 3.5L EcoBoost, and the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel. We use genuine Motorcraft parts to ensure that your engine runs exactly as the factory intended.
