Description of the problem | Backed out of parking space, wrench lit on dash, no throttle control, erratic idle. Placed in park, shut engine off and restarted, light went off. Drive 5 minutes, wrench light came on again, no throttle control. Almost got rear-ended. Again put in park and restarted, made it home. Very dangerous loosing power like that with no warning, some say its the throttle body, others the electronic gas pedal. Vehicle is out of warranty and i don't want to throw money at parts. Ford should recall this. |
