Took it in twice for this while it was still under warantee. First they said they could not recreate the problem. Second time they said they could not recreate the problem and that it was probably caused by my U/D pulleys.sgarlic said:Anyways, if it's an '04, just take it in and have them fix it.
Secondly, if you're concerned about rising coolant temps, you should get an aftermarket gauge if you haven't already.. relying on the stocker is a no-no. It won't even move past operating temp unless you're already overheated.
Is there a way to prove this?Kilgore Trout said:Your IAC is sticking. Replace it.
Um, if you read the entire thread you will notice that I already replaced MAF after cleaning it previously.Zach9865 said:Stock plug wires? My mark VIII gave quite a fight in hot weather. I changed plug wires and hesitation problems solved. But make sure you clean the MAF with a cleaner for electrical components. Try radio shack, they would have the cleaner.
Haven't been able to get one anywhere local. Ordered it from Ford. I took mine off this weekend. It was really dirty. I wiped some of the carbon deposits out and put it back on. Problem actually got worse! So, maybe this is it. I guess we'll see what happens when I replace it later this week.Kilgore Trout said:It is available at AutoZone for about $49.
I did reset the PCM. Thanks anyway for your help. Now I'm off to the shop, before a put a bullet in it.Kilgore Trout said:Sorry mang, I did my best... Did you reset PCM after installing new IAC? Can't hurt...
This problem is more that just a slight hesitation or lack of power. It's big time jerking and sputtering. Plus, if I keep driving it after the problem starts and keep pushing it, it starts throwing codes about misfires.BLUE03GT said:its hot out... its not gonna run like it does when its cold or when their is cool air outside... deal with it... i do
