Hi,
I have a 1990 anniv. SC. Stock, No mods except for the filter box and K&N filter. And head light wiring. She has been great for the last 135 thosand miles.
She is still running good, Only replacements to date, Crank Sensor @ about 65-70,000, Rad. @ 75,000, water pump/Stat. @ 80,000, At 120,000 I put in the second set of plugs(APP's forgot the number, but whats called for the SC) along with new wires. My 3p splitfires lasted from 25,000 to this last set Ohh yeah 2 set of rotors/brakes. Not counting what Ford changed during the 7 yr warr. But just today it started doing this..
Was cruising at about 60 smoothly in drive, when the power dropped to what seemed like 4 cylinders (all seemed smooth just no guts) the check engine light also came on, this lasted for about 2-4mins during which I played with the throttle and floored it a few times, no real shaking it just seemed to have very little power. Then the light went out and all was normal for the rest of the trip to work. After work I looked around and saw nothing loose and I started home after about 7 miles I stopped at a drive through and after about 1-2 mins of idle she started acting like it was missing,(no check eng. light) I rev'ed her up a few times and after less then a min. all was OK again.
She ran great the rest of the 5 miles home...
Any thought's what may be going out/wrong???
Was going to do the paper clip / check engine code check... Hope I have that info correct on what/where to connect??...
Anyway thanks for any help/Info
