    recently attained an almost new ford maverick, however i'm used to working on jeeps no older than 2012... i have an l6 engine in my mav but i do not know if it is the little one or big one all the stickers have long since gone m.i.a. how do i tell if i have the 200ci or the 250ci (my eyeballing skills are terrible) working on sorting out an electrical issue also

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! Look at your VIN. The fifth character in the VIN is the engine code. T=200, L=250, F=302...

    Would love to see more pics of the car!!

    So I've got everything working except for my fuel gauge now, all within my 48 hours off before my next shift cycle. Impressed how easy everything is to work on. Haven't had to use any specialized tools yet. According to the odo. Which seems functional and accurate it's got 31,155 miles on it according to my neighbor the 200 under the hood wasn't even "broke in" until around 50,000 miles almost feel guilty the previous owner paid me to remove it from her barn.
