How often do you change your fuel filter? If you know someone with some sort of diagnostic tool you could check your fuel pressure and whatnot to find a problem there.

Also what year is your car? Pre-2002 there was a recall on the Fuel Pump. You can check ford.com and search for your vin to see if any recalls are open on your car.

haha, check your Cat, the catalyst inside of it probably fell apart and is gathered around the base of the cat.

We took off Trahma's exaust mani and cat last weekend and found that all the catalyst inside his cat was broken apart and sitting at the bottom of the cat.

Sounds like that same happend to you.

Exactly what I was thinking. It'll save you money to take the time and pull off the exhaust manifold. You should have plenty of room for that.
