first thing!! take it to an shop to check what code the computer is throwing. THAT IS ALWAYS THE FIRST STEP. once u find out the code, let us know so that we can further help u out...
do that asap...
What do you think Ford will charge to check the code for me?

probably... are there any autozones or checkers (kragen) auto parts near u? they will check it for free. most shops will check it for free, but a dealership will most likely charge u...
Im gonna hit up Autozone in the morning. Iv only got the one car so if its broke im stuck. Im gonna need to get a bicycle...

how much? tough to say. dealerships are usually rip offs..... did this happen all of the sudden, or after a full throttle pull?
I do drive it a little hard but now that i think about it today is the first day i have used the AC since the snow stopped and it warmed up.
