| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway at 65 mph and the car seemed to stall. I lost power and coasted to a stop. I could push the accelerator to the floor and the car had enough power to crawl forward. I turned the key off and that cleared the problem. However the problem came back a few days later. Again i turned the key off and the problem cleared. After this happened a second time i took the car to a friend who owns a mechanics shop. He hooked up the car to his computer and he retrieved a code for the problem. After receiving the code i called the dealer i bought the car from and the service department told me the code was for the throttle body. The dealer told me ford would not cover the replacement of this part. About a week after the initial occurrence i lost power again and i turned the key off, the problem cleared but only long enough to drive another mile and it happened again and again and again. Luckily i was in town and i found the closest mechanics shop to take it too. |
