Help!
Thanks BrooklynBay. No vacuum leak.
More info for you.
Vehicle recently would not run.....drove it home from the mechanic's after some mechanical work on the brakes, etc. and it was fine that night too. Next morning when it was very cold, it would start, then the rpms just bottomed out and it quit. Started every time but same thing happened. The only thing the mech had replaced in the engine compartment was the brake pressure switch.
Of course I took it back to him and the search started...no codes showed up but when he tested the Mass Air Flow sensor, it apparently showed a problem. I went to pick it up and he said they had it running great. When I went to start it, same problem, started but then quit. Again it would restart fine but then quit.
Oh yeah, here's another twist, it ran fine in reverse but not neutral or drive.
Left it with him of course and they put in a recycled/new computer. Of course then had to send it to FORD to have the keys coded to the new computer.
Anyway it then ran very well. I ran it for several days, no problem.
NOW, out on the highway, when you engage the cruise control the engine shuts down the same way it did before. However, it starts well and runs fine .....just can't use the cruise. What the heck???
After some research on the web, we now find out that there is a recall out about the brake pressure switch but the problem is it causes fires when the brake fluid and wires short out. This is not my current problem but if I disconnect the cruise altogether, it is supposed to solve that problem until I get the recall notice. Problem is of course, still no cruise.
Any ideas now???
