05 gt throttle stumbling

Feb 29, 2008 5 Replies

Occaisonally when I am trying to accelerate the engine stumbles or feels like it is cutting out, similar to the TCS kicking in. I am not accelerating hard just trying to go. Car is stock except for exhaust and has 25k miles on it with a 5 speed. Ideas?


There is a known and Ford-fixable stumble situation after a long highway run, having to do with fuel pump/tank. It's dangerous, and your symptom sounds the same. I'd expect Ford to at least make an effort, particularly if you describe it terms of their "TSB": coming off the freeway and nearly being run into when trying to merge normally into traffic.
