Ruff Start

Silver2000GT · 07-27-2001, 01:33 PM

For the past month or so when I start her up RPM's jump to idle and then its like she runs out of breath and shuts off. Kind of strange cause it has not happened before. Checked air filter and its clean. She is going in for some trans work on Monday and I will mention this also. But has anyone else experienced this sort of thing. Any info would be appreciated.

Yeah the same thing happened to my 00' GT. I took it to the Ford Dealer and they said it was the air mass meter. They disconnected the battery for about ten minutes(so the computer would reset and have to relearn how to drive agian) then hooked it back up and I haven't had a problem since. I hope this works for you. Goodluck.
