| Description of the problem | after i replaced the original battery, i started the engine. I was unable to accelerate above 750 r. P. M. Which is the approximate idle speed of the car. While in gear, i was unable to move forward or back due to lack of power. I had the car towed to the nearest ford dealer in chandler, az. They diagnosed the problem as failure of the throttle body. After replacement, the car is operating normal, although it has only been four days since the service was performed. I do not trust it anymore. |
