My father's '03 ST started hesitating, surging and stumbling over itself pulling hills in 5th gear. It only has 30k miles on it. It's been doing this for a week even after a new fill-up at a different gas station and putting in dry-gas. He got PO'd at it one day and floored it where it shifted at redline but it started blinking the check engine light, temporarily. It came back after a hard acceleration earlier this week and now the check engine light is on all the time. He is going to get it scanned at Autozone and let me know the trouble codes, but until then, I told him I'd ask for opinions.
The ST still stumbles under even a slight load, pulling a hill. I found one other post on the forum about this back in Jan, suggesting it might be plugs or wires, but the guy never reported whether the problem was fixed or what it was. If anyone knows or has experience with this, let me know.
