[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 4037057, member: 9018"] My wife’s Mustang had that issue. It was an 05. She would be driving down the highway and then it would go into limp mode. It would be totally random when it would do this. . Stop wait a little bit and then it would be good to go. She brought it by the mechanics and they wanted to put a new throttlebody on it and charge her like 800 bucks. I said feck that. Basically all I did was change the TBS sensor and cleaned the throttlebody. Pulled the throttle body off and used a toothbrush with throttlebody cleaner I like the old days when all you had was a fecking throttle cable instead of this fly by electronic wire. The throttle body sensors have a tendency of going bad with age. her Mustang only had maybe 120,000 on it when this issue flared up. I get my part off of eBay. Just looked for factory OEM parts. I guess you could go buy the parts store. I’m thinking a clean throttlebody and a new TBS sensor will probably fix you up. Google your issue on YouTube that might help to you in the right direction [/QUOTE]
