SOURCE: '98 S10 4 cyl. 5 speed: Sudden high idle, now surges.

Go to your local shucks or auto zone and they can check any codes behind your check engine light and it's free. It sounds like one of two things a O2 sensor or your mass airflow sensor but they will tell you for sure

SOURCE: Knock engine sensor light on truck is hesitating/

Did they replace the knock sensor?Check the wire going to the sensor(knock).Look for a bare place hiting up against something ,grounding it out.Make sure the plug to knock sensor is good.And make sure it is making a good connection,Knock sensors also ground a part of the computer to feed back imformation.This connection is a must,the truck will not perform at all,stumble,miss,and carry on.Sometimes even backfire.If they did not replace the knock sensor,replace it with high quality sensor from NAPA,or oem from dealer.This sensor has to be made perfect,no room for inperfection.The knock sensor is easy to replace,they just screw in a hole in the block.When removing the sensors,nothing will come out such as oil or water,this is a dry threaded hole.It is a bell shaped sensor.If you don`t know which sensor is bad,purchase one.replace one,and if there is no change,replace the other side with the old sensor you just took out,it will be a good one.I hope this helps you,Let us know if it does.

SOURCE: engine surges especially at low speeds

Disconnect your MAF sensor and take the Astro for a ride. If you notice an improvement; Try cleaning the MAF with CRC MAF sensor cleaner.

98 crown vic charge light goes on and needle goes to full charge when excelerating?

Sounds like the voltage regulator has failed.
Check voltage at the battery with the engine at idle and again with the engine at cruise speed. Voltage should be around 13 volts at idle and 14.5 volts at cruise speed.

Diagnostic codes

744 is to do with your torque converter clutch circuit, intermittent malfunction. 325 is knock sensor malfunction. Has vehicle been shifting different, probably at highway speed? (cruising) Have you noticed engine "ping"/"rattle" on acceleration? These would be common occurences with these codes.

Weird happenings

your brake lights are on a live switch , they will go on when the key is off. so if they are on, your battery will eventually go dead.
now on the pedal there is a switch so when you push the brake the light is activated and so is the actual brake. Check and make sure it is still near the pedal top and can be activated with the pedal down .some are reverse switched down is not making contact and so is tripped and others is brake pedal arm is down toching the button depressing it and making contact. contact your local parts store see what parts they have for your make and model. DONT BUY anything. just see how you switch is suppose to work then you'll know how to test it. if your not sure even call them or any parts store and ask how to test them . they love to share information. which makes them even more valued. Your Cruise wont work because of your brake switch deal. it thinks that you on the brake. Good thing too. Going down the highway cruise on....tap brakes and cruise keeps right on going. that would be very bad. Nothing to do with the battery. just that its a casuality of the brake issue.

Battery light on dash

The battery light is an indication of some kind of problem with the alternator, most likely a diode problem in the rectifier bridge, this changes AC current to DC current to supply power to the car and charge the battery.

The cruise problem is most likely the cruise control module is failing.

If you have more questions please contact me on this same thread.
