I don't know what else to do. I guess we will have him tow it to a Ford dealer.



So I called him back and got our total $$. He is charging for the tows (to him and from him to Ford) but not too bad. For all the testing etc. he is only charging $25. I said "are you sure" (stupid thing to say), he said well we didn't really fix anything...

Called the Ford Dealer to have them expect it. I told the service guy what was going on and what I had replaced. He didn't seem to care. I told him we suspected PATS, he said it couldn't be that since if it is PATS it will still crank, it just shuts down fuel and spark.

I'm getting really frustrated by all of this. I guess we will see what they say. They might be able to find time to look at it tomorrow.
