Ok so a couple of weeks ago I posted a forum about my car missing and not running right and that i had replaced the plugs, fuel filter, and all coils where good. There has been like 12 tanks of fuel ran through it since it started and been to Ford dealer once. Ford says that the plugs I put in it was causing it so me being a complete frickin retard I let them put plugs in and only charge me 300 and they did three recals on it. So now to the problem when the car is first started and a little heat gets in the engine you get on it(50-100% throttle and doesnt start to miss until after 3500rpm) and the car will sometimes miss like literally feels like the whole engine just quits momentarily for a split second and then kicks back in instantly yanking your neck around like a rag doll, and sometimes it wont do that and it will bog down like the cats are clouged and wont go anywhere. After the car has been running a while(20 hwy miles) they car starts intermently missing in 5th cruising just under 2000rpm well as you continue driving it gets worst and sometimes it will get so bad the engine wont run at all and you clutch in and it will instantly die. After it dies you can turn key all the way OFF and then back on and start the car and it acts like it was before it died and barely runs and about after 20 seconds it clears up and quits and goes back to missing up around 3500rpm and on like it does when you first start the car. So saying all this it goes back to Ford tomorrow so the can give me some more bullshit and what not, but any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Sounds like a bad sensor but I don't have a clue which one. When one goes without throwing a code it is a PITA finding the problem. I had one go on my wife's car recently - it was hit or miss, it was either fine or about to die. The mechanic finally found it by tapping on the sensors. When he found the bad one he could kill the car at will by tapping it. Dumb luck. Let us know what the dealer says.

have you tried cleaning the IAC or replacing the TPS? is your Mass air meter plugged up? Possibly the ECM is bad.

Ok just got it back from ford and they say that it is a fuell pump. They say that nothing electronic wise is wrong with car except the fuel pump so.... I have no clue I guess Ill change the pump and see what happens.

Best of luck to ya man. If you have the tools and know how to do it yourself I would. I hate paying for labor.

OK, well after finding out that just the pump is a dealer item and you have to buy the whole assembly and just the pump from ford was more than the assembly so i bought the whole assemblie changed the pump and bitched for a few hours and before you know it no more miss thank god. So if anyone ever said fuel pump your guess was better than mine i knew it was fuel related just not what. Thanks for yalls help!!! PEACE!!
