It has a miss in it when you floor it, does not want to go.If you give it the gas real easy it will go, but hesitates on giving lots of gas  and then takes off . After about 5 min check engine light and beeps. Beep randomly comes back, runs pretty good on highway. Computer check at ford said something about relays module but they wanted to keep replacing parts till I ran out of money already invested $500.00 tune up, plugs, oz's no luck ?

Hi Don

Is the car loosing any antifreeze, or do you hear a gurgle sound from the heater area?

Answer
Hi Don

I'm disappointed that your ford dealer did not give you a more accurate diagnosis. If it is an engine miss make sure #1 and #2 spark plug wires are not crossed. The next thing I would check would be compresion. Following that I would check cam and crank sensor synchronisation, if the timing cover gasket has been changed it is very common for the cam sensor to be installed wrong. There is a procedure to check this but it would need to be done at a dealer. Is there another dealer near you? try them.
I'm not sure what they mean by "relays module" could it have been ignition module?
It should not cost a wheel-barrow full of loot to fix your car.

Hope this is some help, Grant
