I own an ef xr6 manual falcon and on occassions the economy light will come on in the dash while im driving. when this happens the car runs really rough and practically stalls. has anyone had this problem as it is driving me crazy.

hmm im not sure about the EFs.. but in the boxcars, if the "power" switch was disconnected it automatically selects "econ"

so maybe have a look at that - might be a dodge connection

perhaps the light is earthing out somewhere, either electronically in the cluster, or a bare wire from the switch loom or the cluster plug.
