Sport Trac is at dealer

[Josh Langel]

Well, today my Trac stalled 5 times at lights and making turns. It was sputtering and struggling at cruising speeds. The engine caused the trac to shift hard and it felt like there was an extra 1,000 lbs in the bed.



So, I took her for a ride with a mechanic and it did it to him, twice. No check engine or nothing. He said it sounded like a timing problem or somehting. I just want her fixed.



Plus, I hit a big buzzard the other day, now I am buying clear corners due to the damaged turn signal. Yes, the buzzard went THROUGH the brush guard. How? I don't have a clue

Sorry to read about your trac being ill, the docs will have it running tops very soon I am sure!

 

[Fred]

Stupid buzzard! Hope they get you back on the road quick.

I had a seagull smash right into the drivers side door of my Dodges in I-595 whaile I saw going 75mph. After all was said and done, just a small dent on the door and a ton of bird crap to clean off. The bird was crushed by an 18 wheeler that was behind me. That made me smile a little.



Ape Out.

I hit a pigeon at about 100mph. Actually it hit me. I was doing well over the speed limilt in a left hand uphill sweeper.I saw it in slow motion (sort of) on a collision course. The road just happened to lead us into each others path. I could swear I heard it yell bonzai!!! just before it smashed into my right arm. It hit me so hard it knocked my hand off the handlebar. Yep, I was on my bike. I had a big bruise on my wrist and forearm. I'm just glad I was wearing my leathers. For those interested the bird didn't survive. It looked like an explosion of feathers....poof. I know slow down.....Raserx

Josh,

You have to watch them darn buzzards, they are pretty sneaky and have a habit of getting past the grille guards.

FORD called yesterday and said that the crank shatf sensor needs replacement. They're going to replace it today.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Sounds like a timing problem to me. The crank sensor tells the engine when to fire. The Mechanic hit that one on the head.



Glad to hear it is a minor problem.

I hope so, Caymen. I really miss my Trac.
