i know...it's acting like it's not getting gas, at first it would start and then run rough and cut out, the more you tried to make it go, the faster it shut off...then it refused to start at all...

Maybe clogged fuel filter/broken fuel pump or clogged fuel lines???

i was told the code is po106 the mechanic said it's getting fuel, in his opinion perhaps too much fuel

DM15 specifically for MAP diagnostics.

Looks at least initially to me as an EGR issue. Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Module (ESM) not liking something.

I'm no mechanic, but I did sleep at a holiday inn express last night... Seriously though, doubt it's excessive fuel delivery, that's a symptom of the EGR issue if the fuel pressure is actually high, that's all.

In fact...the magic of google after this:

they did try and replace the whole egr, which the map sensor is in and it made no difference according to the mechanic at the garage...

They view the voltage difference from the 2 as the service manual states for the test? Can be just a leaking line going to it, etc..

wolfcryundermoon

that i don't know...we took it there because we know the mechanic, it's a small garage, does inspections and general repairs, told me it was above their capabilities after trying to replace the egr and maf sensors with no difference....it has to be towed back home, then maybe to a ford dealer at some point...

I'd at least attempt to DIY at this stage. Having the dealer hook it up to the VCM tool I'm sure will let them find it relatively quickly as to the issue, but between that diagnosis and then actually fixing what's wrong, that won't be a small bill.

I'd try to monitor what the BARO PID shows for ODB-II reading from rest to when it's trying to run. Vacuum line could be clogged, leaking, may need to clean up the EGR passage... But that should show part of the story anyhow. Significantly higher = restriction, lower = leak. If fuel pressure is too high, likely a leak I believe.

The only thing that's odd to me is this came on suddenly, yes? Usually from what I've read this will show up as a DTC, but doesn't kill the engine. Or at least it doesn't right away as in your case.

i was driving along 50mph, and saw the speedometer going down fast, then it felt odd, i thought transmission but that was just rebuilt in february, then it sputtered and died out, all in about 20 seconds time...i have about a 40 minute commute to work and the car ran normal up till that point!
it was towed to the garage that did the transmission and dash assembly for me in february, he seemed good when he had the car back then....so hoping he can figure it out and fix it without big bucks....
