So if the O2 sensor is intermediately giving out the wrong voltage it will cause the engine to run to lean or rich causing the surging and loss of power.So on the weekend I’m going to replace the O2 sensor and see if that fix’s the problem.

This wire also happened to be the signal wire!! So the signal wire was earthing out against the manifold, thus the ecu getting the wrong signal!

I have had it to ford quite a few times and they can't pinpoint it, although we have changed 3 coil Packs, TPS. They checked fuel pressure,turbo the coils again, reflashed it etcOccassionally car stalls completely and check engine light comes on. It happens when cruising or with min throttle. This is particularly the case after coasting and then apply min throttle. Codes logged are running too rich & too lean.Is there a code logged for oxy sensor gone?Any ideas much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
