Description of the problem | Driving and lost power, car engine died. Wrench icon came on on the ger indicator. Sputtered when coming to stop and had to shut car off and restart. When restarted i had no odemeter or gas mileage indicator on dash. Did another 2 times until i reached my destination, approx 3 -5 miles away. I was out of town when happened and i called my ford dealer and explained and the service manager stated he was 95% sure it was the throttle body. He also stated i might not be able to get fixed right away as to the possibility of no parts available as a known issue. Had to finally stop at a ford dealer on sunday on our return trip as kept happening, repeatedly and too unsafe to drive any further as we were not getting any further than 5 miles apart before it kept happening and 2 of us had to stay overnight in a hotel until the ford dealer opened monday am. On the 4th time this happened, a check engine light finally came on.. Not prior to this though. The ford dealer confirmed it was the throttle body and we did have replaced at that time. |
