~35k miles for the Flex Fuel Sensor which was a $200 part then paid ford $150 in labor. But that was on the older style (98-00 i believe) flex fuel systems. Other than that, at ~78k just from the connector under the seat getting wet, but again, thats on pre-03 rangers and I have sealed that since.

Mine came on between 60-70k for a bad vapor seal in my gas cap.

Actually, upon reflection, my check engine light comes on several times a day right before I start it, but then goes off the second it starts....
