Dirty maf? Lol..uhhh...lame that down for me?

I will be sure to say if a new alt fixes the whole issue.

a lot of people offered to do it for me, but since the alt is causing other problems, I want the so called professionals at ford to fix it, just in case they are wrong, I can throw a fit.

Best if luck, low electrical current will make the car do all sorts of crazy things.

Its not a low voltage issue
its an EMI interferance issue

if it were low voltage then the battery would run down and you'd have starting issues
its a more odd issue really (the battery won't run down with this issue but due to the EMI messing with the camposition sensor you'll get odd behavior)

Seems to be a QA issue on some earlier ones
I also had the same issue but luckily I was under warrenty

Thats crazy..because nothing in my car shows signs that a battery is low or anything so I don't think its anything to do with the battery. IF it were my car would be dead by now, because I have 2 12's and a 1500watt amp hooked to my battery. There's no way if it were my battery, my car would be cranking up.

Its def. something else causing interferance to another part..and if the alternator will dissolve said issue..I will take it. I'm taking her in this week..I'll be sure to say if the problem is fixed just in case someone else has this problem in the future.

Spanks everybody!

As I said it seems to be a QA issue on some alternaters

I had the same issue, the bettery never even got low

so its not an output issue but an EMI issue which is kinda odd for many people but whatever it is what it is

What did you do to fix your hesitation stutter issue? Alt? Or cam pos sensor?
