Hey everyone! I've been trying to figure out why my mustang is going into limp mode while driving. Any help appreciated!
My car has fairly low miles since I ride my moto a lot. I maintain it pretty well I'd say.
Car:
So far the fixes I've tried:
My research has led me to believe that the problem could be:
So, has anyone had similar issues? And what could be a reason for this malfunction? Ford Dealership says they can't find the problem since there's no engine light.
I'll attach a link to a video that I filmed of the car jerking while accelerating. (Holding the pedal steady)
My car has fairly low miles since I ride my moto a lot. I maintain it pretty well I'd say.
Car:
- 2011 Mustang V6
- 85,000 miles
- Cold Air intake and axle-back exhaust.
- Jerky Acceleration at a specific gas pedal position (if I accelerate harder the jerking goes away)
- Car goes into limp mode. (Wrench light appears). I've noticed more chance of limp mode when cold, and less when warmed up. But still a chance. It even went into limp mode while going 80 on a highway. Had to pull over and restart the car.
- No check engine light as of right now (after I cleaned the MAF sensor)
So far the fixes I've tried:
- Replaced Purge Valve (P0456 code, gone after replacement)
- Cleaned MAF sensor.
- Cleaned AIR intake.
- Cleaned Throttle Body
My research has led me to believe that the problem could be:
- Bad throttle body? (I cleaned it, but perhaps the whole thing is broken)
- Bad fuel filter
So, has anyone had similar issues? And what could be a reason for this malfunction? Ford Dealership says they can't find the problem since there's no engine light.
