Team808 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 A quick test that you might get lucky on is try tapping on the mass air flow sensor and see if the car starts to run bad when tapping on it, if it does thats a bad air flow sensor.They have a computer chip in them that could go bad. Good luck. Quote Member of Team 808 Member of Team North East Spl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awhitewookie Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Alright back from messing around on it. New plugs and wires, much better throttle response but my problem persists. Ran the codes and only O2 sensors came up. Put it on the lift and discovered... HEY! previous owner removed the front two O2 sensors. Sketchy fuck. I am guessing this is causing sensors and what not to go out of whack Quote MY BUILD 1998 Ford Explorer 2dr sport 1/0 Big 3 1/0 everything Alpine cda-9884 Crescendo CZ components (2) Crescendo bc2000's (2) Jolt 150ah (2) Yellow top optimas (1) Juicebox black cherry addition (1) Mechman 270 avbm miss my bc5500 and (4) 15's You know why people are ass holes online but not in person?

The reason it goes away is because Ford computers figure out the problem and correct it in about 3-5 minutes. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
