Kenawo Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi People I bought a salvaged 2015 ford edge(13,288 miles, 2.0L ) with front damage. To fix it, had to buy another short block and change the cylinder head cos they were both damaged from overheating after the accident. After the replacements were installed, i noticed that the car picks up slowly an in addition once the car approaches 62 mph(100 kmh) it wont accelerate any further. After letting go a little and pressing harder, it gets to 74 mph(120kmh) and appears to be stuck at that speed. Has anyone experienced this or would anyone be able to provide potential solutions? My avg fuel assumption is 10.2mpg for driving within the city. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Could be a lot of things. First thing to do is pull codes and see what the PCM is recording. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Could be a MyKey type issue, or a loose hose somewhere in the turbo piping tract. Ford does not clamp all the turbo hoses (the small ones in particular). Even if they are clamped, they can come loose or actually split on the underside. If you reused the throttle body and sensors, might need a new throttle body/motor and/or throttle position sensor. Check exhaust for leaks, and cats for being plugged.

Kenawo Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Update I drove in SPORT mode yesterday and the car drove normally and picked up speed as expected. However,when i shifted back to DRIVE, it went back to status quo. Slow pickup and stalling at 100km/h..Anyone experienced such or able to offer advice. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 maybe reset the kam and the tcm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Next time it's struggling in D hit the downshift (left) paddle once. If that fixes it then it sounds like a problem with 6th gear. I think Sport mode typically locks out 6th gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
