I am a new svt owner and am finding out that i have a problem with a large loss of horsepower at the top end!?!? it is a 98.5 with 64k on it in great condition with no problem but when i punch it in first, second ect. it works fine but after going through the gears at a couple of stop lights, it loses all of its top end you know that boost that throws you back in your seat and lets you lay alittle strip in second!! It not only hapens in first but all the gears. Like lets say im on the high way and down shift to fourth to pass grandpa, there is just no power there, its like i should have just left it in fifth. But! i have found out that while waiting at a stop light if i shut down the car totally for like 4 to 6 seconds it has all of the horse power right back. My question is--- Is it a safty thing that the cpu doesnt allow you to do that in fear of over heating or blowing up the motor?? Because even if i drive very slow and for 10 mins so the car should be at a cool temp again it wont let me get the top end back. So i think but shuting off the car i am tricking the cpu. Would a chip solve the problem? Or do i have a bigger problem than expected. Thanks again for any advice. ------ what is a good website to order shift knobs because we have a specail device for reverse. Thanks again

Let me guess, you usually see nice "power boost" around 3500RPM? Then, after the car warms up, this "boost" drops off and the car struggles past 3500RPM?
Mmmm... Don't you LOVE that awesome IMRC?!?!?!?!
IMRC getting hot, causing secondaries to stop functioning. Allow it to cool down, and they work (but temporarily).
Fix?
1. Replace faulty transistor inside IMRC with good one.
2. Buy new IMRC from Ford and hope it's a good one.
In case you are wondering, this is a known issue.

Uhh.. you quoted me which says right next to the price. I also stated it was MORE THAN LIKLY a misunderstanding. Never researched a new price after that (which I said, as well.)
GOOD JOB Ray! Man, I'd hug you if you weren't so scary lookin.
