| Description of the problem | Just after moving from a stop at a red light, while accelerating, the vehicle began to lose power. As i drifted off the side of the road the "wrench" icon on the dash illuminated, which indicates throttle body issues, among other possible things. I had to stop the vehicle as the vehicle was unable to move under any power, and shut the vehicle off. I re-started it and i was able to continue on my way. The icon was not illuminated. This has since occurred approximately five (5) times since the initial instance. There was never any indication of performance issues prior to this first instance. In researching the occurrence i became aware of the fact that this has been an issue with the throttle bodies on several ford products manufactured around the same time as my mercury, and that there is apparently an investigation already in progress. |
