i was driving and then all of a sudden i felt my car jerk a bit and then it happened again and i noticed my check engine light came on for a split second. my car then gave up and i pulled to the side. i was wondering if anyone could help me cuz there is no spark coming from the wires and i tried boosting it but it wouldnt start up? the car is a 95 3.8l. any suggestions?

I assume you can crank it over since you say you have no spark. |
the V6's don't have distributors from 94+ they have coil packs. Remove the oil cap and see if the rockers are moving when you crank it over. I have seen tming chains break on the V6 but usualy due to improver intallation when doing a rebuild not just out of the blue. I have seen the coil packs die as well but doubt that in your case.
Is it trying to start when you start it? Or does it just crank and thats it?Where are you located, I coudl read the coades with my ODB-II scanner if your close, I live near St. Catharines, Ontario. |
Not offering any assistance but I am asking if you would please post the fix as I am sure we all would like to know for any future similiar event to one of us...
Thanks. |

thanx for all your guys help but my car got fixed. it ended up being a relay
|
now im having troubles with my car. i have a 95 auto v6 and i think my tranny is screwed. i will be driving normally and then all of a sudden my rpm's will shoot up and the car doesnt move then it kicks in. anyone know wut it could be from?
|
Start by checking the fluid level, if its low that will cause the trans to do that. Good Luck
|
i have already done that its up to level.
|
making any klunking noises...... or any noises at all???
|
nope.....just the rpms shoot up and when it gets back it jerks a bit
|
although compleatly different, my auto cav had just done the same thing (reason i bought the mustang) tranny was fubarred, the little clutch plates were paper thin, parts that were supposed to have .050 clearences i could stick my finger in :bleh: $1000 later the cav moves again and i own a mustang :tup and :bleh:
|
so it is my tranny then cuz my tranny is auto too.....would that be the reason y when im stopped at a light my rpms shoot up and down?
|
for the RPM's shooting up i'd think it'd be a sensor problem or computer problem..it's getting a false reading from a sensor, rev's to compensate?? i'm not sure... i'd find a nice Ford tech and ask him...
|
ya probably a sensor problem if the rpm's are up and down, i think we have talked about this problem before here....any way, maybe your IAC????? try cleaning that..good luck.
|
finally found out what it was. my third gear is completely gone so now its either time for a rebuild or a 5-speed swap.
