| 2000 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE | WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 4-8 HOURS I WOULD ATTEMPT TO START IT AND THEN IT WOULD CUT OFF. THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT CUTS OFF. I WOULD HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS TO START IT AND KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. IF I LET GO OF THE GAS THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND THEN IT WOULD STALL. NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED AT 60,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN WOODSTOCK GA ON JUNE 30, 2003 AND STATED THAT MOST OF THE EXPLORERS AND EXPEDITIONS ARE COMING IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER FOUND IT IS THE IAC VALVE STICKING OR THE IGNITION MODUCLE SENSOR BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. IF IT WAS FOR NOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THE PART ALONE COSTS $225.00 IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WITH THE FORD DON;T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD DOES NOT RECALL THEM. I CONSIDERED THIS A DEFECT.*AK |
