Well, I have come to realize that I cant get this problem fixed.
I had it towed to a Ford Dealership for diagnosis/resoultion.
I am bending over now to take my punishment, as they will stick it to me good.

OK, so Ford just called with the damage report. Turns out there were multiple codes showing up in the computer diagnosis. MAP sensor, and the MAF were amongst them, but the underlying problem (which cause the other codes) is no spark in the distributor. Ford states that the 'stator' and 'thick film ignition module' need replaced. THese are located inside the distributor. Is this something that I can do? Or is it tricky becuase the distributor needs to be put back together a specific way for timing issues. Ford wants $375 for parts and labor, and I guess another $68 for diagnosis, plus tax. So I am looking at aroung $500 to get it fixed.

Is this a 'common' thing to go wrong? Any ideas on what or why it happend??
