Go to Autozone, they will pull codes for free and then ask on this board what they mean. You'll get a better answer here than at Ford! My name is Richard. I was a Contouraholic.

Bad plug, wire, coil, etc. Get it fixed asap as it's causing engine damage while it's occuring. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
