Description of the problem | I was traveling @ about 40 mph when it sounded & felt like the engine quit. There was a wide shoulder so, i pulled to the side of the road. The engine was still running but running poorly and wouldn't rev up over about 1000 rpm. The check engine light came on along with an orange "wrench" light. I switched the engine off, restarted it, and it ran fine for about 1/2 mile. Then, the same thing happened again, and again, and again. In the next 2 miles the same thing had happened 3 more times. After almost getting rear-ended by a ram truck the last time it quit, i pulled into a parking lot and called my mechanic who came and towed it to his garage. Almost $400 later, my mechanic had replaced the electronic throttle assembly. He told me the ford dealer parts person said he knew the part number by heart because they had replaced so many of these parts. |
