my svt is in the shop now because it boggs down and dies on the freeway..

i took it to a shop and they say everything is fine wiht the fuel system...

the problem is its cutting out signal to the injectors...

so its either a computer or a wiring harness...

does a wire harness just go bad??

has anyone heard of this...

Unfortunately it does just go bad. But let's hope it is not the problem for you.

Here is a TSB for some of us.

Yours could just be one harness.

That recall applies only to 95-97 if you check it out.

I don't think it is the harness, but if it is, plan on taking a trip to the junkyard.

A fuel injector harness for a V6 is $700 new from Ford.
