I am currently on my Fourth Transit Connect.
177,450 miles on this one, 2013 model year.
I certainly run many miles per year at about
65k ~ 70k annually. None have ever left me
stranded! came close the other day! On
Highway 65mph. the truck starts sputtering,
made it to an exit. truck would stall, easily
would restart vroom once and stall. I popped
the hood. disconnected a bunch of connectors
in front of engine. wiped clean and reinstalled.
(not really dirty). 2nd restart, I could keep it
running..... rough. at about 2200rpm. after
about 2 minutes, it started to smooth out. and
after 5 minutes, I could bring it down to Idle @
750-800 rpm. I have since put some fuel
Injector cleaner in the tank and ran a few
hundred miles since. If anyone has had any
similar issue??? Please provide any input you
can. I was thinking Fuel pump & filter? but it
could have been spark coil packs? as it was a
damp/Rainy day. If anyone has had any similar
issues? Your Input would be Greatly Appreciated!
