1996 Lincoln Continental, 210k miles. Car surges or hesitates at idle and wide open throttle. Fuel pump and filter were replaced last year. I pulled code P1131. Pulled MAF and cleaned with alcohol. Started car and same condition exhisted, unplugged MAF and it seemed to run a little better. Prior to starting the car, the dash mounted display said "Fuel flow data error" It went away after I started the car. I have lost about 7 mpg.
Any ideas?

Has the code for the maf returned? Could be bad.
Ford recommends new O2 sensors @100,000 miles.
Check for vacuum leaks and sticky EGR valve.

Good luck and let us know. :)

The front O2 sensors controll air/ fuel ratio info to the PCM. The rear O2s monitor the function of the cat/s.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
