Im assuming since you can get it started you can select Park/reverse/Neutral ok and its not a problem with the selector switching?
Could it be in Limited Operation Strategy?

OK Now I understand with it being the 12v..... By the ICV there ( under it actually) there is a small black Vacum Pipe which may have become detached. If so that can cause the problems you describe. But it worth checking all the vacum pipes for leaks etc as they are all interconnected.. Post back when you have checked.

the ICV is the silver canister looking thing near the air intakes with the throttle linkage to it . has a plug on the side of it .... see par 18 on thsi document it describes it as the ISC valve http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/engines/12v/V612VRem&Instal.pdf

hi snoopy
well found it check the two pipes both on but when under the car i found one that runs from one side of the box right up into the engine bay and back down the other side looks like a breather to me but it just stops near the box on the other side cant see where it may go any more thoughts
cheers gavin
