Well i got a 2003 i think, it's the 100 year ford anniversary and unless I'm not as good at math as i thought that should make it 2003, either way I'm not too great with cars, I had to replace one of the tie rods with the help of my dad and his friends who are a bit better with them than myself, now whenever I put too much onto the accelerator in 3rd gear and up it kind of skips, or misses, im not sure which, the car seems like its moving back an forth, I asked my dad about it and he said there was nothing wrong but the problem only started maybe 1 month ago, it has also stalled on me 3 times randomly, but its a 5 speed and i can be distracted when driving so that might be my fault, but i know that im not shifting too soon and causing the skipping problem, ive only had one car before this and it was a 5 spd too, a v6 stang and i know what that feels like and its different, and whenever the car skips around like that the radio kind of fades in and out or outright cuts off, from the little i know about cars i would think that it is an alternator problem, but i honestly dont know, anyways thanks for any help in advance.
