[Shotimes] still having an engine problem

[Donelson Don]

joe

try this .... ford has a recall kit for the maff sensor connector. These are known with ford to go bad .. hence forth the kit.

I had a friend with his 91 that would loose power and etc .... than kick back in and ran fine. No codes .. etc.

I replaced the harness on his sho .. and no more problems.
