My t-bird used to run good every once and a while. But now more often it starts and idles rough and when I push the gas pedal it has no power, top speed of 10-20 mph. It just bogs down and sputters. The check engine light is on and goes off and on at random. It has done this for a number of years and the Ford dealership had no answers. No codes in the box either. Any help would be great.

The engine is the Super Charged 3.8 V-6 with Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection and is Inter-Cooled. Just in case this helps.

This may help narrow things down too, it started to do this and I parked it for a while. Came back after a few months and it ran fine and drove it about 5 miles or so and it went back to the same problem. It has sat ever since. Just now getting time and money to try and fix it. Thought I would get help narrowing down the problem, hopefully. Thanks for your ideas.

What engine? Sounds like it has jumped time. Sounds like a 2.3 that jumped time...before that, though...the MAP sensor. No codes, though...still sounds like it's jumped a tooth out of time. Good luck.

check the catalic converter,it could be plugged up.1 way to find out,is take out your plugs,and if they are black,then its probably the cat.
