Description of the problem | This vehicle belongs to my daughter and while driving to get lunch the said vehicle slowed and started jerking and shaking. The engine didn't die but the accelerator would not throttle up. She eventually was able to return back to work and later in the afternoon had a doctor's appointment and she left work for her appointment and traveled about a mile before experiencing the same symptoms as previously stated. My daughter phone me for help and i went to her location and we traded vehicles and i tried to drive it but it wouldn't accelerate as before. The engine would idle and the speedometer indicated 3 mph. I notified ford and requested a wrecker and then was able to get the escape to drive about another mile before it stalled again. I waited for a wrecker that never came and i finally started the engine again and entered the interstate and traveled abt six miles at 65 -70 mph when it lost power again. I idled at 3 mph for about a mile to the ford dealership and they were closed. Finally i idled another 2 miles to the daughter's residence and parked the vehicle in her garage. The next day i went to autozone and i asked them what codes p2111 and p2112 were and they advise me it had to do with the throttle body. I then drove it to the dealership at 3 mph and left it . I purchased a throttle body from another ford dealership and installed it in about twenty minutes. It seems to be running good now after test driving it for 15 miles with no issues. The vehicle's warranty expired @ 3yrs or 36,000 miles. |
