check engine light

[MJordan]

Hey my check engine light comes on whenever i drive hard for a couple minutes. It stays on for about 2 min and then goes off untill i drive hard again. does anyone know what the problem could be.

Could be damn near anything...

Go to www.midwestsho.com

Here they have a link that tells you how to check your own codes with a paperclip and what those codes mean. After you do this if you need help decifering the codes post back.

hate to jump to conclusions, but if you get a combo of these codes could either be a dirty MAF or frigged up O2s.

173
176
177
543

I just swapped out my O2s and now my Taurus is SHOtastic!
