....and i'm not really interested in trying to find out why anymore  ....i think its a sign to move on....i do appriciate the fact that it atleast made it to carlisle and back with no problems at all....its prob something as easy as a fuel filter..or wires,etc,etc.......my hearts just not in it enough to even bother working on it anymore......

Sorry to hear 'bout your 'Tour . At least it didn't die on the way back from Carlisle . I'd feel REALLY bad about bustin' your stones about coming  !! For what it's worth ... it looked/sounded great this weekend & it was great seeing you again  .
Now get your arse out there & fix it !! LOL  !

Sorry to read this, your tour was always a great looking one. Maybe you can find a nice CSVT to fill the void.

thanks for the support guys...its kinda depressing...i'd really like to get another tour but all the v6 se's around here are autos...the only five speed is a 98 zetec...i'm not even gonna bother with my buddies csvt...he'll only get my hopes up again....i just dont understand it...its been running great...put 7 worth of premium...drive for about 6 miles maybe more and BANG it starts jerking and bucking...backfiring and shooting flames out of the tailpipes  ..then if i leave it for about a hour it'll run fine for about a mile than same sh!t all over again..i tried dry gas and adding more premium...nothing....i'm stumped it could be a fuel filter,which i'll try tomorrow..if it doesnt work i'll be parting it out for sure

I'd bet fuel pump or fuel filter. You've put oo much into that car to let it slip over ~$150 in parts.

Chris, that's a bummer. I hope you are able to get it fixed, hopefully it's only something simple. Good luck.
