Hey, thanks for your quick reply and the info. Additional symptoms? Well, to be honest, not really. The problems came more gradually and got worse over time. By the way, my Ford has 65072 km on the clock and was last serviced about a month ago. I think I'll take it to my garage and have it checked out. I'll let you know what comes out of it. Thanks again for your help. Best regards!

No problem, I'm glad if I could help. Your approach sounds sensible, especially as the problems came on gradually and not suddenly. I would also recommend taking the car to a trustworthy garage and having them check it out. I know it sounds expensive, but it's better than being stuck on the road at some point. With my Ford Explorer, all the problems were solved after the engine control unit was replaced and it has been running like clockwork ever since. I hope that a simple solution is found for your Ford too. Please keep us posted on what the garage says. Good luck and have a safe journey!

Hey, thanks again! I'll take your advice and bring the car in for an inspection. You're right, better to invest now than get stuck on the road later. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm back from the garage and know more. Like you said, hopefully I'll find a simple solution too. Thanks again for your help and advice. See you then and drive carefully!

Hello, I am not a car specialist, but I have a bit of experience as I experienced something similar with my 2003 Ford Explorer. The engine control unit was also defective. Initially, the same symptoms as yours were observed. I took it to my regular garage and the professionals there fixed it for me. The repair cost me 1000 euros. Yes, it wasn't cheap, but the problem disappeared afterwards. To be able to help you better, I would need some more information about your car. Have you noticed any additional symptoms? Did the problems start suddenly or gradually over time? This could help us to better understand the problem. Best regards!
