I have a 1999 Ford Mustang 4.6 lit. GT When I started my car this evening after doing errands all day, when I placed the car in drive, and accelerated, it began to choke and sputter as I drove away. I drove about 10 miles home and it did this all the way. The "Service Engine Soon" began flashing. I had a 1985 Corvette years ago which did the same thing and it ended up being the Mass Air Flow Sensor $$$ is this the same problem? I have about 100290..

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
