Description of the problem | Driving on interstate at approximately 60 mph, engine suddenly lost power. I looked down and saw the yellow wrench light on. Car continued to coast and began slowing down. Luckily there were no vehicles immediately behind me and i had time to find a location to pull over. Pulled over and engine began to buck and sputter. Turned off ignition. Waited about 15 seconds and started engine. Wrench light was gone. Put car in gear and everything appeared fine. Completed approximately 15 miles and got to destination. This is the second time this has happened in two and a half weeks. First incident was on 5/31/13. After first incident i did some research on the internet and learned about other similar incidents caused by the throttle body. I went to the ford dealer and ordered a new part. Dealer took the order and denied knowing anything about this issue but ordered the part for me. The part still has not come in. After repeated phone calls i was told the part is on national back order and might still take a few weeks to get in. |
