I have a 2005 GT. Last year my passenger window started going wonky, Its not the motor as I can bust into the panel, press a certain spot and it works. The door was hit, and replaced with a used door. Months later engine light on, throwing codes for misfire. Replaced plugs, codes go away, month later same codes. It was not charging, replaced alternator. Good as new...
Flash forward 1 year later. Woke to dead battery... replaced battery, next day throwing codes again, I would bet money that they are the same codes. Car is revving at idle ! Has no guts, feels so sluggish, feels as if it will stall, but hasn't yet. Nothing is dimming. Has a faint gas smell while driving.
My pop is a retired mechanic, but old school stuff. We are not up to speed with sensors and such.
Our plan for the am is to run codes, check voltage, and go from there. I have heard cam shaft sensor, shaker drawing power, is it possible the window has a short? We put the old battery on a charge and it is coming back to life, alternator again? Coil packs ? Help this is my only set of wheels and am at a loss.
