It would go a couple of weeks without incident until all of the sudden would happen again. On most occasions, the…

I have been sensing a surge in engine power for several months in my 2011 fusion. I suspected a throttle body problem and googled for information. I found all of the information on the nhtsa website about throttle body problems for this car as well as information in other forums. It was a good thing as i was prepared for what happened today. I had just left my house when the dreaded (and expected) loss of engine…

While driving at low speed, the vehicle slowed and stopped, requiring me to pull off the road. The engine remained running, but at a very low rpm - applying gas did nothing to rev the engine. After turning the vehicle off, i was able to restart it and limp it home. The next time i drove it, approximately 3 days later, it acted similarly, threatening to cut off when not applying gas. I took it to the ford dealer for…
