Thanks for the kind words Derek and while I seriously thought about doing it myself, I ultimately decided to take it to Ford like Terry suggested.
I dropped it off yesterday and we'll see how long/what it takes to fix it. Labor alone is gonna run ~$1300(ouch) 15 hours @$84 an hour.
Then we'll have parts and whatever needs to be replaced while the guy is in there.
I'm in good with the service manager's and they tell me that Matt, the engine guy, is one of the best in the business and he'll give me a point blank and blunt approach to what needs to be done.
While the car's there, I'm gonna have them do a complete decarb and fuel system clean up. They should also do a complete coolant and engine flush, I hope. I even asked specifically for them to do that.
I miss my car so much already.
Mike
