Ford, 1994 Crown Vic 4.6 L V8 108000 MI
Car is hard to start in cold or wet weather, it needs around 5 minutes of warm up time before operating normally. If you try to drive off before the engine is warm the car sputters, small backfire in the intake, and will not reach speed above 15mph until engine is warm. So far I repalced the coils, testing proved resistance accross the terminal was around 14.5 ohms, according to the manual the max is 13 ohms. Since I was under the hood I also replaced the plugs, wires, air filter, and fuel filter. Someone suggested I repalce the ICM, if the problem still existed disconnect the ERG system and close off the vacume lines, still no solution. Any Ideas as to what could be causing this?
