Well usually I have the problem with my 95 v6 poping and sputtering when it is cold. This happens for only 400ft of driving and then it stops and runs fine. I tried changing the plugs and wires and also the coil pack. This did not solve the problem. I also tried spraying starting fluid around the engine when cold to check for vaccumm leaks. No luck. Well today it was running fine on my way home from work. The engine was at normal operating temp. Then all of the sudden it started to sputter and fall on its face. I also noticed that the tach was jumping all over the place durring this. I slowed down and then the engine died. I was not able to start it back up. I left the car there and came back later. It started right up, must have cooled off. It drove fine the ride home. Then close to home I really gave it some gas to see how it would run. It started to sputter and the same thing tach bounced all over and died shortly after I slowed down to about 5mph. Help me guys. The codes I got were 211, 212, 215, 216, and 217. I could not do a KOER test since it cranks and cranks and does not start. What is the problem? It has to be some stupid sensor screwing up. Could this be a crank or cam sensor? HELP!! I'm really getting fed up with this piece. My modded supercharged thunderbird is more reliable than this thing.
