Hi everyone. I have an engine problem on my 93 SE 5 speed. My wife drove the Max about 75 miles from the house and in died on her. I went and changed the Air Bypass hose on the intake manifold and it ran a little better. But when I started down the road, it ran smooth, but lacked power. Other symptoms include:

1: wouldn't idle. when I got near home, if I let off of the go pedal, it would go dead.

2: ran great in the upper rpm range (3000 plus) but weak in the lower.

3: No check engine light.

It felt like it bucked and choked and wouldn't go.

I'm going to check the plugs, change the fuel filter, and go through the diagnostic procedures according the the Factory Service Manual.

I'm thinking throttle position sensor, fuel pump, or ecu. PLEASE, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Scott.
