I am having an intermittent issue with my 2004 Marauder. After getting a tune done and having the fuel pump and fuel filter replaced during the tune (car has 113k) I have been experiencing a very frustrating intermittent problem with the car.
While driving the car home after the tune, the car under a very tight right turn lost all power, would not downshift no matter where I placed the throttle. When the car went past the turn and adjacent hill the speed and power picked up.
I drove the car more and it showed up both with right and left sweeping turns.
The place that did the tune reinstalled the fuel pump because they thought the screen may have got crimped/closed off causing the power cut out.
This too has not helped. A month later when I drove it, I was pulling on to the highway and went to accelerate and it flattened out again. It does Not downshift, it does not accelerate, it does not pick up at all. The car has new plugs, and is in very good shape. The tune netted 275hp and 296 lb ft of torque with just a cold air intake and tune.
Now that it is back at the shop (and during the drive there it didn't cut out at all!), they can Not recreate the issue!
Does anyone have any ideas what can be the cause of this frustrating issue? Any suggestions are appreciated. The fuel pump was a Motorcraft one and brand new!
Thanks.
