There is a sensor on the flywheel of those ztec's somewhere....I remember a buddy of mine having this problem a couple years ago. Shit. Can't remember exactly how he fixed that. Something to do with a sensor on the flywheel that communicates with the PCM, and the sensor wasn't actually bad on his car, but the connector was corroded.

Is it catching at all and stumbling, or just flat out nothing at all?

When you say it's not throwing any codes do you mean the check engine light didn't come on or you actually used a code reader?
