I get exactly the same in my 98 mystique ... only it seems to exhibit itself more when downshifting into 3rd.

You beat me too it, I was thinking of you when I first read this! Take it back to mechanic to determine why MPG hasn't improved, get some answers and give them your feedback too!

I already talked to Ford, they can't do anything unless its throwing a CEL. And to do a mileage test costs $150 and may not come up with answers.
I'm going to talk to dragonay on rs and get him to pull my ecu codes and see if the o2's are just out of spec slightly ... i'm hoping that fixes it and i can feel safe about the car

yep, same thing, 2000 CSVT happened after the stock pump bit it... I'm replacing the plugs to see if that hurts or helps, but it almost seems to run lean- but only in third gear?

I have the factory fuel pump, as far as I know.

Thought i'd try to revive this thread haha, Mine has recently started doing this, but the pump has never been replaced, to my knowledge. i have roughly 68k miles on the car, its a 2000 CSVT, and this is really starting to bother me.  ~Alex

Bump bump
Anyone have a data logger like the new Diablo Predator to get "as it happens" info? Someone has to have fixed this....
