U0299 Ford Tempo code definition:
U0299 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic U-Network Diagnostic Trouble Code for Ford Tempo.
U0299 Ford Tempo is described as Fuel System Too Rich, which basically means bank 1's oxygen sensor has detected a rich condition of fuel. This means there's not enough oxygen in the exhaust from too much fuel being delivered into the air and gas mixture for combusion. The spark should have a light tan color.

Symptoms
Symptoms of a U0299 Ford Tempo diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Engine surge
- Blown fuse (if applicable)
- Lack of power
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
|
Possible Causes :
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- Rarely - faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM-programming required after replacement)

Common Misdiagnoses
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Valve 1 Problem
- BBV Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Problem
- Transmission Engaged At High Throttle Angle Problem
- Cruise Inhibit Control Circuit Problem
- TFP Valve Position Switch-Drive Without Drive Ratio Problem
Repair Processes :
With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.
You might continue by connecting the scanner to the vehicle diagnostic connector and retrieving all stored codes and freeze frame data.
