Description of the problem | I was driving at highway speed when i heard a click from the car engine. Acceleration gradually declined. The gas peddle did not respond. I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the engine off. As i was slowing to park, to turn off the car, the car surged several times. I was able to restart the car, with a hesitated start and get home. This happened 5 times over a two week period of time. I took the car to the ford dealership and had the electrical throttle body replaced. This corrected the issue. |
