I've had to replace the throttle body for my vehicle once before approximately in august 2011. The car would stall and then turn off. Fuel didn't seem to be passing thru while i was driving and when i was at stop lights. Often times, it turned off and i would have to wait a while for it to turn back on. When i was at stop lights and this happened, i would have to press on the brake and the gas at the same time to…

It happened so inconsistently it was hard to explain or diagnose. I had ford replace a…

Noticed the little wrench was lighted on the instrument panel. I turned the vehicle off for a couple minutes - then it started right up. Thought it was a glitch - approximately 5 miles further it did it again. Wasn't sure what it was so i had it towed 50 miles…
