caytd21 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hi guys, First off, I apologize if this isn't the correct place to put this topic. I'm new here I have a 2014 Ford Edge SEL AWD. The last few days I've been noticing some strange things. When I stop at a stop sign, leave off the brake and then push the gas, there's a delay, and then like a thump, and then it goes. I notice that if I stay between 40-50mph, it will shutter? hesitate? when it shifts. I don't notice it at higher speeds (60-70). When going up a hill, it seems like I have to push the pedal the whole way to the floor for it to catch up and get the power it needs. It also doesn't seem to have as much power when I press on the gas. There's a delay before it wants to take off. Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking fuel pump possibly? I'm still under warranty, as I'm only at 31,000 miles. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Warranty is time/mileage (3/36K) from date of sale, so dblchk just in case. Could be a throttle body issue or a MAF sensor issue. TB issue is known to happen with 2011-14 MYs so next time an event happens, check for codes without turning the engine off once you are at a stop. Some codes will be erased with an engine restart, that's why I ask not to turn the engine off. Another reason in older MYs was the transmission. Sometimes a recalibration fixes it, sometimes a part has to be modified/replaced. You can also try a KAM reset to make the PCM relearn everything. Finally, check the battery, it may be dying and causing errant behavior to occur. You are in the sweet spot for OEM battery failure. CCAs are what we go by, not battery voltage. Voltage is deceiving. A digital tester or a Solar BA7/9 is needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked and I am still covered under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, and Yes. I think the TB will throw a P2111/2, and the MAF I believe P0100/1/2/3/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caytd21 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Took it to the dealership today, it won't code so they won't do anything about it. Anyone have any ideas here? I'm supposed to be driving about 1200 miles in the next week on a trip, and I'm nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Unless you have an Ecoboost, I am not thinking fuel pump at this mileage at all. So then I would turn to the second most likely mischief maker, which is the throttle body. You can buy and install it yourself if you want that peace of mind. But I would suggest giving the TB and the MAF sensor a good cleaning first. And checking the battery's CCAs. Any major auto parts store can check the battery for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went ahead and got a new throttle body. We are going to install it tonight. I'm hoping that does the trick. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks for all your help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caytd21 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Surprise surprise. Replacing the throttle body did the trick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
