Hope you have tough and flexible hands & arms.
Well the sensor is replaced. Not sure if that was the problem or not, but we will find out pretty soon I am sure. I hope the stupid CEL doesn't come back on.

Ok well the ECT sensor was not the reason for the CEL. I am starting to run out of options and patience with the car. Now I see where all the horror stories come from about Fords.....
I really don't want to have to replace o2's if thats not the reason but I may have to try it soon anyway.

So does anyone know if Ford can do a better job at diagnosing my problem. My mechanic had the car for two weeks and ran his diagnostic tool on it and tried a few things and I have tried a bunch of stuff and I still can't figure out what the problem is. I just don't want to take it to Ford and have them try the same things that I have done. I just want it diagnosed and have them pretty positive they know the problem. Is Ford able to do something that most mechanics can't do?
Thanks in advance.

depending on your mechanic ford might have better diagnostic tools...not to mention service manuals kinda like what you can get from todras..that tell you if this is happening than check this,this,and this..ya know

Well I am not sure what brand diagnostic tool my mechanic has but he is a pretty good mechanic and knows what he is doing. As far as the service manual goes, I went through the list of stuff for the codes that I have without replacing random parts and nothing has worked so far....
