“My car began having a problem with surging (feeling like someone is repeatedly mashing on and then letting up on the accelerater) several years ago. I have taken it to numerous mechanics including a ford dealership over the past years and no one seems to be able to fix the problem. It willn't idle. I repeatedly dies at intersections, in parking lots, etc. It died 6 times while a mechanic attempted to drive it into a bay and still the computer said that there were no problems with the system. Mechanics have done everything including setting the timeing, and still it surges and dies. …”
