New member, with sumbling problem?

[WEDGE]

Hey people A friend of mine has a 95 3.2/auto that after a hard acceleration on the highway or an emptry street while letting the car come back down to normal speeds or after sitting for a while it will stumble like its misfiring or running rich. This lasts for a minute or two and then clears up? any ideas? Oh and I don't know if this is related but the check engine light will come on sometimes for a minute or 5 and then go out?

Wedge,
The CE light is storing a code that is trying to tell you something. There is a section here that will tell you how to read those codes and interpret what they mean. There are so many variables that can change a/f that you really need to pull the codes to see what is up. It is much better than stabbing in the dark, and/or replacing parts that don't need it. thumbup

Where do I find that section? a mechanic in our shop hooked the ford computer up to it, but all he could come up with was that there may be a vacuum leak some where around the front half of the intake? I checked for a leak with the trusty propane but could not find anything.

Go here for an explanation of how to pull the codes and where to install the jumper wire, and then go to 3 digit codes and find out what they mean.

It also might be fuel delivery...like I said it could be a number of things..just pull the codes and we can help better from there!
