problem #2

Apr 012004

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

While traveling anywhere between 10 mph to 60 mph engine stalls out as if too much air or not enough gas. This has happened in the middle of downtown city traffic and on major interstates over the last 2 months. It takes from 10 minutes to one hour to start car up, then runs with no problems for a week or so then all starts again. Engine light comes on at the time problem occurs, must take to mechanic to have diagnosed. Each time he's been unable to pin point the problem. Have spent over $1000 in the last 2 months with this problem and continue to experience the problem with new parts replaced. Mechanic unable to find the root problem, diagnostic machine codes have been coming up incomplete codes. I am still experiencing this problem after replacing the gasket, egr valve, oxygen sensor, temp control valve. Mechanic now watching the intake control valve which is very expensive to replace. Also watching the fuel pump, but that is testing ok. Any ideas as to what the solution to this is. I can't afford much more money for a 3 year old vehicle. Any assistance in getting Ford to fix this problem or forcing a recall would be greatly appreciated. Does this constitute the mn lemon law? help.
