Description of the problem | 2010 ford escape had been having an uneven idle while in drive with foot on brake. In this case, while accelerating at a stop light, the car would not accelerate and stalled with the engine and wrench light illuminating. Pulled over turned key to off position put car in park and restarted. Took to dealership that weekend. Technician witnessed the uneven idle. No codes would show up on computer. Technician re-calibrated idle. Car ran smooth for 3 days and uneven idle reappeared. Three weeks later when trying to accelerate from a stop sign, car went into "limp" mode; wrench light illuminated and would not accelerate. Next day while driving about 55 mph with cruise set i could feel "surges" in the engine. Took car off cruise, could still feel something just wasn't right. Uneven idle still persists although not consistently. Taking back to dealership today. Have done lots of research online and believe this may be connected to all the complaints with the throttle body. |
