I have recently been having trouble with my 91 ford taurus with a V-6 3.0L with an automatic transmision. I have been getting error code 118 also sometimes it will give code 116, I have changed the coolant temp sensor 3 times already. Also sometimes when the car is running it will stahl, or if you put it into reverse or drive it acts like it is putting a lot of load on the engine. Every once in a while when I start the car it runs rough, then after a few min it will smooth out and run normal. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this? I am thinking it may be the (forgive me if the name is wrong) constant control relay by the radiator. In case it is the wrong name I am talking about the black box ontop of the radiator that has about 25 wires going into it.

sounds to me like bad air to fuel mixture. like intake air temp sensor or maybe a maf going south

Ok, well I checked the maf and the car is still giving me the problems, also the maf I have on is maybe a month old. As for the air temp sensor is that the one near the egr sensor on the intake? If so the guy I bought it from just had it replaced. This problem is driving me crazy

As if I wasn't crazy enough already.

Well I haven't had the chance to check the wiring yet, but I will as soon as I get a good dry day.
