I have '98.0 se w/ duratec and ATX. Sometime, not always, when accelerating at high rpm (when the secondaries are open) the engine will surge. The torque moves up and down about 20%. No CEL.
MAF sensor replaced at about 55K.
All cats replaced at 83K. (Courtesy of Ford.)
Plugs (autolite dbl plats) and wires 86K.
The MAF sensor was replaced before I bought the car (it had 61K when I bought a year and half ago.)
It has done it off and on since I bought it. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse or more frequent, just shows up from time to time. It sort of reminds of the years I drove Italian cars, and they would do things from time to time just to let you know they had personality.
Any ideas?
