Default 2005 dies

My new 2005 died today.( It will be back though.) I got in and tried to start it when it came to about 500 rpm and started to spit and sputter. It was so bad the car was rocking. When I shut it off and tried to restart all it will do is fire and die. It only has 1275 miles on it and it hurt my feelings to see it on a roll back.

I also noticed when they were put n it on the roll back that the location of the tow hooks made the chain wrap around the front bumper and bend the crap out of it. Alos hurt my feelings. If you have to have yours towed have them attach further back along the frame there is a nice location farther back.

That story was a tear jerker on the level of Ol Yeller and Shane. Sorry man, it may just be the cpu getting a false reading and going into "limp home mode", but that jack-a$$ with the flat bed should be kaned.

Mine is in the shop now for a new computer. Mine would bog really bad and not take off. It took them two weeks to get Fords approval to order a new computer. They said it would take three days for it to come in. I drove mine in so thanks for the heads up on the roll back.
