Re: cold engine idle problem
I'm having a similiar problem with my 99 sport. When I use my Viper car starter it'll start and then "die out" and stall. When the starter starts it up again it revs up and down for a few minutes. When it is really cold it'll start and stall as many as 4-5 times. (Tuesday when it was below 0 the starter gave up and I had to manually start it when I got outside.)
When I asked my Ford Dealer about it they said it was the drive belt, the thermostat and the intakes. I had my brother a certified mechanic) replace the belt and the thermostat and I'm still having the problem. He can't see why the intakes would be causing the problems unless they were leaking a lot and he didn't see any leaks.
Could you give me any more info on the "program," what the SOHC stands for and if there 72,000 6 year free replacement is a warranty thing or just your dealer, I'd be able to have my brother check it out a little more. Thanks
