Thoguh Warman and others read this group, too... it aint a 'mustang' problem.. it's a FORD engine problem

Ignition module?

nope

A computer techie... not a car techie. HA! Tinkering with cars for the first time in my life. What better car to have fun with than a Mustang?? I've gone to several auto parts stores and none of them seem to have a reader. Do shops charge?? I may just buy myself a reader. Not that expensive.

Ignition module? My brother-in-law suggested ignition sensor. Is that the same? Why wouldn't it be this? How could I test?

Yes, I disconnected the MAF, pulled the negative battery cable and let sit for a while. Reconnected the battery and ran it. Same problem.

well, if your IT techie and want to get into cars, a good deal... do some research first.

And yes... most read codes free, but it's a regional thing. Ask them.

But why are you using netzero, then? live in the boonies without DSL?

Check out yahoo's deals

Used to use netzero a long time ago. kept the address for posting on the Internet and subscribing to services so my official email won't pick up spam from web crawlers. Keeps business business and play play.

Research definitely. That is why i'm on here. Figured I would get advice from experienced people before diving in any further.

So far I've eliminated the spark plugs, wires, ignition coils (replaced those because there was rust on the bottom side of them... figured what could it hurt) and MAF. Not bad I think. After I replaced the ignition coils and cleaned the MAF the C.E.L. stopped coming on and the car ran great. Even picked up some pep, assuming that was from the clean MAF. Thought I had it licked. But no. Now that I have a C.E.L. again I can do a read on it and hopefully really nail it down.

well go to google groups this group and search... discussion here a while ago on readers... then check the other sites like corral.net

check those two plugs again and oil filler for signs of blowby, too

Already have... posted on stangnet as well. Looking for some fresh ideas at this point.
