For some reason the check engine light on my '03 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptor has gone off. I just bought it about a month ago for 2 grand and had a tune up on it. It used to shake when accelerating, but we got that fixed..then just about a week ago i was joy riding with my friends and floored it, it seemed to of skipped a gear or just over reved like crazy. And my check engine light was flashing at me. And it hasnt turned off sense then, but at least it stopped flashing. And just today the shaking when i accelerate came back. Any ideas to what is wrong?

no problem the one last thing someone said it. getting the wheel realigned will help with the shaking a little bit.

Go to Autozone, they will use their ODBII reader and read your code.

Is the car still shaking under heavy acceleration or is that fixed and it is now just revving really high and power cut at higher rpms? I don't know much about crown vics, but if it is cutting power and revving weird at high rpms it could be due to a bad Air to Fuel ratio. This could be caused by a bad O2 sensor or a dirty MAF sensor or something, I dunno if your car has a MAF or not.

It could also be that your sparkplugs and wires are going bad. They will act fine until you start accelerating and inducing load on the engine, and then they can't keep up which makes your engine misfire and throw CELs.

Your R?

Your exactly right. Autozone or a similar autoplace will run a scan for free and give you a print out of what is wrong.

And there is a lot of aftermarkert parts for that engine. Ive seen some built crown vics. Bore it, cam it, heads, intake exhaust, and you would have a fun little cop car. At not much of a cost if you can do the work yourself.

Really depends on the vehicle.  But yeah I have a turbo so I'll just blindly agree.
