Problem: Car idled rough and shut down after warm up. It re-started and still idled rough and ran like crap ..sort of like the 5 out of 6 cylinders were working. Problem surfaced out of the nothing, from one day to anotehr.
Condition: oil change no more than 100 miles ago, complete tune up about 500 miles ago (double platinums all the way, motorcraft wires, fuel filter, pcv, air filter, belts, diff. fluid flush), car has aprox. 219k miles on stock hg's.
What i've done so far: I tried checkign the basics to fix rough idle . I checked all wires and they're fully fastened, cam sensor is secure and not that old, same with the crank sensor they were both replaced new when they went bad they also look ok visually, no tears or damage. I dont know a way of checking the coil pack and DIS modules unless i try using a new one to make sure mine are working..so i havent done that, again, visually they look ok, no damage. Checked the codes and i got a KOEF #24 for Air temperature sensor imput out of (self-test) range
I've been browsing the posts about teh ACT sensor but im still not clear if this is the way i should go...Like i said, it seems very unlikely that one of the 'typical' things is faulty or malfunctioning since i've replaced them before, so i want to verify that the ACT should be next to replace....also, any one have a price for the ACT and is it a part i could get at the local autozone? thanx
