OK, Update:
Car had set after Dealership played with it. First time out with the cold transmission it did more "missing". No need to go back to dealer since they said they checked everything and so not wasting time there. The research and development charges can kill me.
After thinking about it more I was thinking about Ethanol and how the car sets so much. I do try to keep at least 3/4 tank and I use StaBil most of the time. Car only has 57,500 and that is a lot of sitting for a 08 model. I have put Heet in to remove water in the lines, if that may be the problem. I will drive tank towards empty.
Fuel tank has had Heet in for at least 24 hours and sloshed around some. Today I drove about 60 miles at highway speeds. Acceleration, with a normal operating temperature transmission, was great, smooth and strong. Will keep driving this car instead of the other one to empty tank and fill with fresh gas. Since this is not interfering with normal driving I will drive old gas out without towing the camper.
Adieu, All temps are normal, or at least the gages are where they have always been. I do get around 11MPG now but with all the hard accelerating during "test drives" I'm not surprised. Car has low ration for towing, I think. It has never gotten great gas mileage. Best on highway is 18 and normal around town has been about 12. Tranny did not slip. It seemed as if something was holding motor RPM back when trying to accelerate. If I held accelerator pedal at the floor the motor would miss and sputter but unless I put it under load it just had no acceleration.
1955moose, I am old and retired and don't get in big a big hurry anymore. I have two vehicles and between them do less that 5,000 miles a year so no emergency other than my in my wallet. Not giving up yet. Just posting and working slow. Thanks for all the help guys.
trainmaster, The mechanic at Ford looked inside Transmission and said he didn't think there was any problem there and I'm now with others that think it is motor but I will run old gas out and try fresh fuel before going mechanical. Would hate to spend, I think it was about $500 for a tune up if it is not needed necessary. Something about the plugs breaking that I was told could be $100 per broken plug and that is one Hell of a tune up that could be over a thousand dollars.
