Need Advice!
While on the Freeway, my '92 SC developed a "Loss of Power" with hesitation, stuttering, and it finally died after about 10 seconds. I was able to pull off to the side before it stopped rolling, and it started right back up again with no problems. I drove another 3 miles when the same problem happened again, and I again pulled off to the side and it started right back up again with no problems. I headed for the Ford Dealer 10 miles down the road but not before the same scenario happened again 3 more times, with one of the events at a stop light.
They said Code 216 appeared which is a bad Coil Pack, but they also ran a further diagnostic check that said my DIS Module was bad AND my ECM Processor had 2 defective Drivers (Total cost $1,190). This car has been well maintained (including new plugs and wires 10,000 miles ago... 105,000 mi. on car).
What are the chances that ALL 3 of these Ignition system components died all at the same time ??? Did one make the other go bad?
How do I determine if the components suggested are all bad ??
What would you do ?
