misfire, check engine light, but no code?
Trying to accelerate onto the highway, the 2001 with 220,000 on it had a little trouble. 8 ppl in the van, a 3000 lb trailer in tow, she drives fine on the highway, but climbing up hills and getting going from slow speeds it does what I think is a misfire and the check engine light comes on, however it doesn't reappear when I shut the van off and restart. I bought a $60 reader but it doesnt show a code.
The van was fine for two days when I was being very careful to be light on the throttle, thinking it might be a transmission problem.
It showed the same problem again today when I was coasting down a hill, gave it gas, it studdered and sounded like it missed and ses light came on.
NO CODE THOUGH STILL!?! I changed the fuel filter yesterday. Tranny fluid smells fine and is full.
CPS was not changed on this van b/c when I took it to ford a year ago to have it replaced, they said the vin # didn't require a recall. Could it be the valve cover harness? possibly an injector?
any thoughts would be great. Thanks guys.
Andy
