Ok,
I have a 95 EF Flacon GLi Auto and it is missing once it warms up ie after about 10 mins or so. It does not seem cosistent and only seems to do it at about 2000rpm or below, as soon as you put the boot in it quits missing once it runs past 2000 and revs normally.

Work done in the last 6 months or so
Fuel pump and filter
Crank angle sensor
Coil Pack
Plugs n leads
as well as the normal stuff like oil changes n all that

I am completely out of ideas for what to look at/for and any help would be greatly appreciated

I've got similar problems. Gonna start checking / replacing some sensors. Oxy being one of them. How could one test them myself? I have a cheap digital multimeter if that helps.

Finally got around to checking the oxy sensor, checked the codes n then the sensor itself with a multimeter and apparently is toast so will pick a new one up tomorrow n install it n let you guys know how i get on.
Seems that 275000ks is the magic number for all of the computer bits on my car :P

around 250'000 most things go in the old EF's.
My mate that i got the EF i own, he replaced the power stering rack, a few sensors, fuel pump and some other crap and was all within 10'000 of 250'000.

Spew. Mine's only done 173 500 at present, so I've got some time :) I'm gonna test most of my sensory bits n pieces and probably replace the majority of them for the sake of it, then let my ECU re learn.

Some of that stuff might be ageing with time, not k's. So you might not have as much time as you think 8-)

Ok, over the easter hangover :x
Swapped out the oxy sensor n holy crap what a difference car seems to be running much better.
Doesnt seem to be missing at lowish revs any more
The sensor that came out was in pretty bad shape was badly heat scarred ( i know inside exhaust = hot :P ) but seemed worse than i expected.
But then it was also a genuine ford one so it could have been in there for the last 12 years...
