Hey guys, I really need some help on this. My car would spit and sputter on a whim/whenever it felt like it for no apparent reason. It would do it at highway speeds or idling. I try restarting the car on the highway and at stop signs and the problem persists. Sometimes I will just be sitting at a stop sign and the car will just go into this very rough running mode. Its as if the timing is way off or something. So i switched the crank sensor and harmonic dampener. The crank sensor was brand new from ford and the dampener used from a wrecking yard. I used the pulley that was on my engine from the start. It seemed to solve the missing/no power problem for a hundred mile drive and then started doing it sporadically just like before.
I'm really flustered by it and don't know what to do.
One other thing I've noticed. The tachometer reading drops down to almost half of the rpms that the engine is actually spinning at. And when the car sporadically runs normal, the rpms jump back up to normal too?
Should I replace the cam sensor?
Please help.
