Consumer Description

SEPT 2011: STARTED VEHICLE AND PUT IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A SPACE AND ENGINE REVVED. IF I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WOULD HAVE LEAPED BACKWARDS THRU THE PARKING LOT. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE IT BRIEFLY TRIED TO LEAP FORWARD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE DIAGNOSTIC WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND VEHICLE SEEMED NORMAL. THROTTLE BODY REPLACED BY FORD ($800+). NOV 2011: SPEED OVER 50 MPH, WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BOGGED DOWN, RPMS REVVED AND IT WOULD GO NO FASTER THAN 35-40 MPH. DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT COMES ON. PULLED OVER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF BRIEFLY, RESTARTED, DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT GOES OUT AND I PROCEEDED. AS LONG AS I DO NOT "PUNCH IT" IN HIGH GEAR I CAN INCREASE SPEED WHEN GOING OVER 50. INCREASE MUST BE GRADUAL. CONDITION HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE INITIAL INSTANCE. *TR
