i posted this on the tech forum
my sc died sunday morning and it has me stumped.
saturday was the southern california cruise, and i easily put about 200 miles on the odometer. it didn't give me a single problem except for overheating a bit on a steep hill (got to the m in norm but nothing new there).
the following day, however, was not as good. on my way to my gf's house, it died. i was driving ~75-85 mph on the freeway and it ran fine. i got off the freeway and did some complete stops and side streets. i reached an intersection and needed to make a right turn. well i was on the phone at the same time and was approaching the intersection slowing to a complete stop and the tach bounced around eradically from 600-1500 rpms and the engine sounded like it sputtered and then it died. i had no warning lights and everything was fine, then all the lights on the cluster went on and i cranked and cranked but it wouldn't turn.
i then towed it to my gf's house and it is sittign there as i type. i talked to john shelton and adam mullen and both suggested the cam sesnor. so i decided to buy one from ford today and went to replace it but had no luck. i have fuel reaching the fuel rail, and the fuel pump still primes after each key on engine off.
i ran codes with a code reader from walmart it beeps and flashes so it does the trick. it gave me a BAP sensor code and a tps code, if i remember they were codes 12 and 122.
my question is if they are shot, would they have given me the symptoms i described...or in ohter words are the symptoms i described related to these two sensors?
al
ps this engine has about 1800 miles on it, and the car itself has about 138k, the tranny has about 11k. should i replace the sensors or should i take it to someone and let them deal with it??? i'd prefer the former than the later ofcourse, that is why i am here!
anyone have any clue as to what it could be let me know, im stuck driving my pop's 78 f-150 and ecven that is dying as well, stupid batery
