Well, here we go...

Was driving around, and noticed that i had a leak of some sort (air) , vac readings were normal, but when i would be running high boost, then shift, it would swoosh like a BOV... but i don't have one... [Image: wink.gif]
so I put some gas in it (at a station i've never been to, was kinda far out) drove it home and came out in the morning to inspect it... no vac leaks, just the hose from the IC to TB had some cracks... well, I go to start it up... turns, fires, dies... repeat... would keep running if i gave it gas... NOW... even if i give it gas, it just surges then dies... ran codes KOEO... nothin... thought maybe i had water in the gas tank, got some water remover, replaced the fuel filter... nothin... reset the switch in the trunk, nothin... even cleaned out the TB and IAC... nothin... Ford service manager told me it is probably the IAC, but I don't think it is. I'm stumped...
Thanks,
Kramer
Here's a shot in the dark for ya , those cracks in the IC hose might go all the way through and bleed off air which would in turn screw up vacuum as well.
Try replacing this hose and see what happens.

Anyone else have any thoughts?
