Even so, I would take it straight to the dealer, if its still under warranty.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : Mr.Lucky CAFords OG Member # 1772 posted                              naw it doesnt seem down on power but the idle is verrrry low..its like at 600-700rpm Posts: 4197 | From: Manteca | Registered: Sep 2002  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              Modular engines also use powdered-metal oil pump gears in their oil pumps...I've heard of these gears breaking....I hope I'm not scaring you.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : Mr.Lucky CAFords OG Member # 1772 posted                              its brand new....ur scaring the shit outta me...BUT its under warrenty so if its jacked it aint my bad...defective or something...they're paying, and thats that.
