I have an idea. Get the codes read so that you know what's causing the problem. The places that read codes free CANNOT read these codes. You need either a good independent shop or a Ford dealer.

You need a scanner to get the codes. a simple code scanner will not get them. In other words I agree with Mark above^^^^^^
