Joedigi Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 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!

G B L Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have heard that on the Gen 1's if the boot that seals the coil packs goes bad water collects in the Spark plug recesses and can cause a miss. How long since you have changed the Plugs? It could be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
