    Those guys at the dealership are such a**holes. Sorry if this was annoying you at all. I just wasn't clear as to what you were saying. Thanks for the input though. I'll check it out.

    gotta fix this problem once and for all

    If i switch the front 02 sensors and the problem goes away then can I permanently drive with the 02 sensors switched? I remember each sensor being color coordinated to its proper plug, and according to the inbreeds at ford, each sensor has a different calibration so I can't just buy a sensor...

    gotta fix this problem once and for all

    Thanks for all of the replies. Yeah I changed my fuel filter hoping that was the problem but it wasn't. All the vacuum hoses and bolts around the throttle body, intake plenum etc. look tight. I bought an 02 sensor and I'm still waiting for it to come in. It's so weird how the car runs flawlessly...

    :rlaugh: I really should do that. So all these symptoms sound like a bad 02?

    gotta fix this problem once and for all

    I already took her to the shop to have a diagnostics test. The CEL was on when I took it in and it was running horribly. When the mechanic went out to start the car up, the CEL didn't come on and the car was running fine. He ran a test anyways and no codes came up. Cost me 80 bux to have the...

The code 1780 was pulled too but only once. when i recently had the codes pulled again, that one didnt show up. it was 1151 and i THINK 1152. either way im starting to think the MAF is bad. i read that if you unplug the MAF and the car dies...

    How would I go about fixing/replacing the TCU? Is it an expensive part? Is it possible to do it myself?

    Codes Pulled...need Help Fast!!!

    No I have one code dealing with the O2's and one code dealing with the trans control. I just recently had the codes pulled because I was sick of this problem coming and going. It's gotten worse lately but it has been doing this since the car was bone stock.

    Codes Pulled...need Help Fast!!!

    You're right its the trans I'm sorry. How should I go about fixing this problem? As far as the O2 sensors...both codes are being tripped at the same time. Would the trans control have anything to do with the shift kit? I don't see how considering its been doing this since stock.

    Codes Pulled...need Help Fast!!!

    Yeah the throttle position sensor is out of range, not transmission. My exhaust doesn't sound like their is a leak. But the front drivers side sensor was completely black and the passenger side was a gray color. The code did say a leak but I'm not seeing anything. If it was a vaccum leak then...

    Codes Pulled...need Help Fast!!!

    Yeah I have the plug in ones. The shop thinks the codes were pulled because I have an O/R pipe but thats impossible considering my car was doing this exact same thing when it was stock and had only mufflers on it. I would get the surging idle where it would drop down to about 200 RPM's and then...

    Anyone know which sensor it is? I just took out the front drivers side sensor and its completely black. Is this the sensor that tripped the computer?
