Your symptoms are different to your explanation. Shift solenoid issue would create shifting problems ... you would hear the engine over revving when the car should shift to the next gear ... or holding too long in a gear before shifting to the next. If this is what's happening, before going at the trans with solenoids pull the dipstick and check the oil, it should be a clean red color ... if brown or black change the oil ... it may be burnt and not doing it's job correctly causing slip. Beware of quick oil change places they do not use the correct oil ..especially in Foreign cars. Hope this helps Sam

What is model year? How long since a tune-up? With idle issues, check and clean idle air system, see if it helps? Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, key on engine off. On some ford vehicles, with everything off, unplug the maf sensor, where applicable, take the vehicle for a spin, if it does a lot better, have to check the maf system, that includes, sensor--wiring circuits--pcm. The basics on a rough idle, is to check for a leak of some kind, fuel--egr--vacuum. Positive fuel trim at low speed and load, the first thing, look for vacuum leak.

Hi Your alarm or engine immobiliser are usually wired into your ignition wire at the back of the dashboard you will probably need to find out where its been joined to your wiring loom a good starting point is to take your stereo headset out and have a look at the wiring behind it as usually alarm technicians go for the quickest route and you have an ignition cable that goes to your stereo I hope this makes sense and helps you out.

Bad sensor

change the ecm and coil

Check the coolant temperature with the car stopped. At idle with the hood up keep the thermometer in the coolant. Confirm if the coolant is not overheating but the engine is!! Run the A/C keeping the thermometer in the coolant and allow the fan to kick on. If with the A/C on the engine doesn't overheat then it confirms that the low speed on the fan motor is not working. Read the description of the Taurus where the low speed is used for normal operation when temperature is required but the high speed is activated when the A/C is on. The circuit is simple. In your case the low speed has to be activated for the A/C to go into the high speed. The fact that the high speed is working and low speed is not indicates the low speed of the fan is defective. Other problems such as the thermostat or plugged cooling system(radiator clogged) could be the root problem! Hope this helps?

Sounds very serious. When you drove your car without coolant, it overheated the engine and may have caused the pistons to seize up in the cylinders. When that happens, the engine is ruined. Since a 98 and almost 20 years old, it would not be worth it to try to repair such expensive damage. Sorry.

My brothers 2000 ford ranger the fuse went out to the speed sensor. I change the speed sensor because it did not shift out of 1st gear and the speedometer stopped working. I then found out the fuse was missing in the fuse panel. My brother could not tell where the fuse went but when I put a fuse in it started shifting and the speedometer started working. everything was good. You should have a code if it is the speed sensor.
