I have a 2000 Mustang 3.8 V6. I've had a problem with it missing and sounding like there's a vacuum hose connected wrong. This has been going on for 6 months. The shop says fuel injector number 5 is bad. But the code scanner says crankshaft position sensor today. Two days ago scanner tool said camshaft sensor. And still the shop says it's fuel injector.
