Driving at low speeds on warm day's engine starts

Driving at low speeds on warm day's engin starts cutting out like it's running on 6 or 7 cylinders.Check engine light comes on then clears after a little while but doesn't leave a code. Also when this happens I am getting a pinging when I give it more gas.

If your CEL comes on but it doesn't store a code sounds like you have a faulty computer board connection,warm up your vehicle then tap on your computer case with a wooden handle of a hammer see if it causes a problem when doing the tap test.

I have a Mazda MPV 2003, i bought from japan, 7 months ago, this van was running well until two days ago, it stsrts and cut off, starts again and while driving it is losing power then it will speed up

Before any diagnostics, I would run a tank of gas with a bottle of fuel dryer and injector cleaner to ensure that the engine racing isn't resulting from moisture and clogged injectors.

Ford 2000 f250 HD crew cab 8 cylinder intermitten starting every day or so

The engines run very lean for fuel efficiency. Although a "cold start sequence" gives the impression of freezing temperatures, the operating range is much higher. The water temperature sensor (some have 2) may be staying too warm for the reset. You may need to change the sensor. Then the fuel mix will be richer and the engine will start.

Engine keeps cutting out

please elaborate, also include year, make, model, engine type and size, transmission and drive type as well as a more detailed explanation of when and why your engine cuts out, such as does it normally occur at a certain speed or engine temp, does the engine run fine until it cuts out, does it cut out constantly or just a few times a day, when did the problem start...etc... you cant post a 4 word sentence and expect someone to be able to troubleshoot and help solve your issue

1983 Buick LeSabre Wagon, cuts out driving down the road

Find the EGR valve on the intake and locate the vacuum hose that is connected to it. Start the engine cold and as it warms up, pull the hose off and if it idles and drives fine, the EGR valve is bad and needs to be replaced. Please rate me on this answer.

Trouble with my rpms

Here are some of the causes of surges, stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
