Description of the problem | I was driving the car on the highway, and the car engine died. I was in the middle lane and had to coast to the right shoulder in heavy traffic. I took my car to my mechanic since the car was no longer under warranty. He cleaned the injectors and throttle body. It appeared to fix the car. However, a few days later the car died again, but this time i was on a tollway in heavy traffic going 70 mph. I had to clear one lane of traffic to make it to the shoulder without power. I had to be towed immediately by the tollway authorities, because it is dangerous being stalled on the shoulder. My mechanic now tells me that the throttle body needs to be replaced. This is apparently a very common problem with this ford. |
