Ok.. I am a mechanic.. so I shouldn't be asking.. But @ ford we have computers and thousand page books that tell you step by step (pin point tests...) what to look for, or to replace...
For the past few months Paris has been stuttering going around right hand corners @ high rates of g-force.. Pretty much anytime there is less than 7/8 of a tank of gas.. SO I would imagine maybe a fuel pickup issue... (Also considering the 14 gallon tank has been smashed down to 9 gallons before, and I don't think the pickup was replaced, when the tank was)
However.. I also keep getting some Check engine codes... And have had a continuous Rough Idle, and 10mpg....
Check Gas Cap Tight
Evap Control Systems
Cant remember the #s...
So some people have recommended disconnecting my canister and seeing if maybe that is full of fuel... I have looked for leaks but Couldnt find any fuel leaks.. I was going to take it to work and smoke the system after checking the canister...
Well, anyways, I was going to work ,and was going around a right hand corner.. Engine shut off, and the tyres locked for a brief second... I spun out did about a 270 degree spin and went half way off the road.. Put the car in neutral and pushed it off to the other side of the road... Ended up not starting back up and had to tow it home with the legacy :smitten: she did very well... I'm going to change her name to PRV "Paris Recovery vEHICHAL!...
So Now instead of having the luxury of doing this @ work, on a lift, I am going to have to work on this POS in my driveway...
Just curious as to what People would recommend I do first.. If I could get it started and get it to work that would be awesome, much easier to work in a heated garage with a lift...
