Ben Hachi on here works for ford,
i had trouble with one of those before, check all vacum pipes, hoses around the manifold first.... if theres no errors on the dash 9/10 its not a sensor, but sometimes it can be a sensor and no warning lights come on
i also work for ford and their will be no light show if its the boost solenoid or the map sensorQuote:

the mothers car drove perfectly, but when it rained heavily, it would chug a bit and put itself into limp mode limiting the revs to about 3. and no matter what, wouldnt go above that, even dropping from 5th to 3rd wouldnt do it.
in my case it was the wiring going to the crank senor getting wet and tripping a crank sensor fault. leave it running to dry out and it would start up fine again.
quick blast of water and she'd die again.
diagnostics is the only way you are going to find the issue.
