I was driving home today and my 97 duratech just died, no loss of elec power just the engine cut off.

I was able to get home but running it for 1/2 mile then it would cut off regardless of speed then it would not start up right away I had to cycle the key on off on off for a few mins and it would start up finally after a few hard almost starts. each time it died it took longer to start back up.

I waited an hour to let it cool and it started as allways litteraly instantly. I drove to the parts store and had the codes pulled, and drove home with no issue.

The guys at the store had no clue what to do with these codes and one of them sugested a fuel pump?????

Thanks for all the Help

Thanks

That was a detailed post and I really really appericate you taking the time to do that!

I replaced the Coil Pack about 4 months ago and all the wiring is good and tight, I got in the car this morning and drove it the 20 miles each way to work with out a problem at all. would these sensors cause intermittent problems like this??? I plan to replace them over the weekend. The cel light is off now and has not come back on.

thanks again.
