Description of the problem | Defective throttle body 3. 5l v6. I was at a traffic light waiting for the light to change. After the light changed i attempted to go through the intersection and halfway through the intersection the vehicle lost power thus leaving me in the middle of the intersection with vehicles moving around me on both sides. The check engine light and a wrench icon appeared on the dash display. The engine was running at idle speed and the car would not go forward. By this time traffic from the other direction was passing me on both sides. I turned the engine off and restarted it, however, when placed in drive the same thing happened. The vehicle was towed to the ford garage and repaired. The cause was a defective throttle body which was replaced. The check engine light showed a code that indicated the throttle body problem. The vehicle has 6,700 miles on it. Had we been turning left across oncoming traffic an accident would have been caused. The service department indicated that we were lucky that they had the part because of the numerous vehicles serviced with the same problem. |
