Description of the problem | driving on 3 lane highway in middle lane at approximately 70 mph slightly up hill and engine completely lost power. I pulled off to the shoulder. Engine was still running. Car had no real power but was able to continue at about 5 mph for a few hundred feet up exit ramp to a gravel area where i stopped. I noticed the yellow wrench light was on in the lower left corner of the dash. Turned off engine unsure of what to do. At the time i was about 90 miles from home so i tried to start the engine again. Engine started right up. Power was back. Continued to drive another 90 miles with no issue. Descriptions on the internet talk about a fuel throttle body issue which has symptoms that match what happened to this vehicle. Stopped at ford dealer and ordered new throttle body. Service department acted like they never heard of the issue although it is all over the internet. Waiting for part 9e926 to arrive to install. Car has had issues in the past month where it sputters a bit pulling out from a stop sign and has revved up to about 1500 rpm when out of gear right after starting. |
