i was driving and started up a hill and it started losing power and shut off and wouldnt start i called a tow truck and had it towed to my home the next morning i tried to crank it when it spins over it backfires through the rocker arm cover and air intake but will not start i printed out the ford fault codes on a web site on the internet and am considering buying a electronic fault reader at the local auto parts dealer and see if i can determine what might have caused it and what can be done to correct it i have a second auto so i have time to tinker with it . thanks wayne
