I am brand new to this board and hope to be able to contribute in the near future but right now I need some help. I am stumped.. I have a 96 HSE 4.6. The problem I am having is when the engine gets to normal operating temp, it shuts off and wont restart until it cools down a bit. I thought I might have a coil pack problem so I changed them out with no luck. I removed the ECU and took it apart and there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it, it still looks brand new. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the problem. I have searched far and wide for the answer and cant come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. When the motor cut off the first time, I got a fault code in the trans. I had it scanned at the local parts house and it showed a speed fault. I am pretty sure this came about because the motor cut off while running. The motor shuts off even when I let it sit in the driveway and idle without driving it so I dont see how this could be the problem, and oh yeah, the nearest dealer is an hours drive away so taking it there is a last case option since it will have to be towed. Thanks for your help in advance.
