Ford Quick Tips: #19 Common Causes For Engine Hesitation Ford Vehicles

[@jonebert2179]

This worked fantastically. My hesitation was caused from a very small seating problem when the air filter was changed properly. Just reseated it and the hesitation vanished. Cheapest fix I've ever done! Thank you.

[@benrodeheaver701]

Wish mine would have been the same.

[@daboo7725]

I have found over many years of professionally wrenching on cars, that these style of air boxes with the tabs on one side and retainer clips on the other side, a light coating of silicone on the air filter seal helps in putting things together easier ( be careful not to overdue it as too much if a good thing could he bad for the MAF). I am a GM owner and mechanic for almost 40 years and enjoy your videos as they are spot on for cause and effect of problems as well as repairs. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@scottb3637]

Don't use silicone on the intake system of your computer controlled vehicle. Even a small amount can create havoc with the o2 sensors and the catalytic converters. That pennies worth of silicone can cost you thousands in replacement of your exhaust system parts.

[@traznevroz3634]

This is my 1st go at something mechanical & how lucky am I to find you so quickly! Everything you explained is what's going on with my ford! It actually made sense to me who has no prev mech experience.. I'm just hoping to wing it with logic & reasoning before I say have at it mechanic magician! Thanks Ford tipper dude!

[@armesisp3201]

Just had this problem on my Escape V6 (Same car), fixed it by changing 2 faulty ignition coils and all the 6 spark plugs, on top of that they also cleaned the MAF sensor and flushed out the air intake system. Now the car runs very well.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Wish you worked at my local Ford Dealership. You're a damned good mechanic. Tips appreciated. Thank you.

[@jimalsup8986]

ReclusiveMountainMan Yes Sir, he is!

[@deheinsite]

I have been trying to figure out why my truck was hesitating and saw this video and exactly what you described was wrong with my truck. Someone (either oil change guys or emissions check guys) did not reinstall the clips and the wiring harness cap was not correctly installed. Fixed my problem and saved me a lot of time and dollars. THANKS!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Great tip. It's too easy to think you have a major problem, when it's a dirty mass airflow sensor, or the other simple things he pointed out in the video. As insurance, since you're already under the hood, check to be sure all the wires involved look good and that the sockets and pins on the connector to the throttle body are clean, and the connector is properly connected to the throttle body and locked in place.

I wish you were in my town. I've been trying to find out what's going on with my expedition. Hard to find someone that knows what they're doing.

[@j.maxwaddell2557]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This was the exact cause of my vehicle hesitation. The air box had broken clips on the MAF side allowing air to be sucked in creating the turbulence. Clamping this area down now has the engine running smooth at ideal and NO HESITATION ANYMORE on takeoff such as a red light. Thanks again. Great information...

[@dannyl2598]

Thank you! Just today, I found a cheap crap air filter like that one, except this one did not have the screen and it actually collapsed and fell down in the box which left the lid so lose that the clips fell down. I replaced it with a good filter and cleaned the MAFS with CRC. This was on a 2.3 and now first gear works like you would expert. Thanks for everything that you do to help everyone.

[@mikeprecht2530]

That was it. Hesitation went away. I had removed the intake air manifold to change the spark plugs and apparently did not completely plug a censor back in all the way. Thank you so much.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I appreciate your video's that cover the most common mistakes you see when servicing the Ford vehicles. Very helpful. Thank you, Johnny

[@MrRainbowrooster]

One of the best made videos I've seen on YT. Thanks for making this.

[@bfeamber]

OMG this video was a life saver. Saved my daughter in laws and my ford expedtions. Hers would start then shut down. Mine had a surg at take off. Ok I took my mass flow sencer off mine and put it on hers the truck started and ran but then had the surge. So after watching this video I looked that both of them closer. Lol hers had a spider in it and mine had one of the prongs smashed in it. So took spider out and straightened mine out and both are running perfect. Just to show everything happens for a reason...Thanks again...

[@Amberk313]

Such a simple fix! This video LITERALLY just saved me a trip to the mechanic. Thank you so much!

[@shrigawiga]

First of all thank you! I have a 2005 Crown Vic Police Interceptor w/ p2106 code and wrench light (goes on when at 50mph) driving me bananas! It all started when my rear differential went while driving on the highway...the gears wouldn't go forward or backwards. Long story short brought it to the shop and changed the differential and still p2106. Then came back and changed the throttle body and air filter. Still no change. It's been 2 weeks, the mechanic looked at the wiring, changed the EGR, Intake Manifold(the coolant began to smoke prior), swapped transmissions (under warrantee), changed coils, spark plugs, swapped PCMs, changed the accelerator pedal/sensor, and checked the differential for speed sensors. NO CHANGE. He wants me to bring it to the shop to try and put a transmission speed sensor and then quote "he's done." I've done the relearn processes in your videos, checked for any air leaks from throttle tubes to air box and mass air flow sensor. I don't know what to do anymore. Any advice would help. Even if you're around the NY/NJ/Conn tri- state area I'll stop by you!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+shrigawiga Is the air filter box latched into the lower box correctly? Has the MAF been cleaned? They need to monitor the maf on a graph while driving at that speed to check for any drop outs.

[@crownvictorialifestyle4421]

[@KollynJ]

Guy responds giving you advice and you never gave a follow up. I’ve done all the same things as you, What was the solution or outcome?

[@JohnnyCab]

This may be an older video but this made me fix my gas pedal flat spot . I did some valve repairs a few months ago and when putting my air filter housing on my 2008 Ford van didn't know that the map sensor sealing plug was pulled out allowing extra air into the air housing causing the engine to have a flat spot on acceleration. Reinserted the plug and it fixed it , runs great again.

[@dandubay7662]

Great Videos...Ive been at this for 35 years or so and have had a few of those Mech. 101 things land in my lap. Cant stress enough to never forget the Basics...Thanks for the Videos.. They are very informative for all levels ...Good luck on your new venture!!

[@ArmandoLopez-df4dd]

Great video, very informative, as always. Just want to share something, this happened to my truck after an air filter change, went to neighborhood Auto Zone, guess they don't carry Fram anymore, so I bought what they had in a blue box, can't remember the brand, truck started hesitating to start right away, took me a couple of days to figure it out, got old Fram filter out of the trash, shook it real good and put it back on, PROBLEM SOLVED!! Fram or Motorcraft only from now on.

[@noel7366]

Thanks for the video. Too bad most mechanics dont make time to check thoroughly instead they do unnecessary before possibly fixing the problem to bill you a hell of alot more.

[@google_plus_sucks6952]

Been getting my '94 Ranger back on the road and I have to say you're the best for thorough, sound, logical tips and procedures. Thanks very much for the time you spend helping us all out. I particularly like the fact that you not only know your stuff when it comes to vehicles, but you speak intelligently. If you're going to trust someone's work, they have to sound like they know what they're talking about and you do. PS - At 1:00 into this video, you say "jive" to express a correlation between two things. The word is actually "jibe". You're one of those rare "perfectionist" mechanics so I just wanted to give you the heads up :) Thanks again and keep up the good work!

When I took off, I felt the hesitation, just like you explain it.

Was exactly the problem on my 2015 Ford Edge Sport 2.7L Twin Turbo. Had a hesitation on WOT after getting some AC work done at the stealership, couldn't figure it out. Tried a Throttle body relearn, nothing. Saw this video, checked the engine bay, found the problem. MAF Plug was unplugged. Plugged it back in, done. CEL went away, acceleration and throttle response went through the roof. Had no idea the MAF would affect just the throttle response from a dead stop. WOT under rolling conditions was fine.

Yes there are a few of us that have learned the HARD way that the dealer can f-up a repair, just as much as the corner mechanic. And some experienced Corner mechanics can diagnose and repair just as good as a dealer can. Through my years I have found that the older the mechanic, the better your odds are.

I agree! When it comes to quality diagnosis and repair by automotive technicians there is no substitute for years of experience.

I have a potential job later this week on a 2003 Ford Mustang GT, the owner says he is having similar issues with low power and acceleration. I hope the fix can be simple as this one. The owner told me the Mustang sat up for a long while, but started being drove last November and the car started acting up two weeks ago. I was first thinking of the fuel filter and asked him when the last time the filter was changed and he told me he didn’t know.

[@tbright3177]

Hello FordTech Makuloco. I have a 2005 Ford Expedition, 5.4 L V8. The issue I'm having is that during acceleration, it surges! The RPMs will surge, until you reach about 60 mph. Then is evens out. The only way to combat this issue, is by taking the over drive off. As you would do, when climbing steep inclines. But, I know you don't want to do that all the time, as it burns more fuel. Now, the mass air flow sensor has been cleaned, as I've taken your advice, in a prior video. Also, the fuel rail pressure sensor, has been replaced. The fuel filter has been replaced as well. But it still surges, during acceleration, before reaching about 60 mph. Can you help me with this issue? Thank you.

When I worked for Ford I had a Ranger come in with a crank, no start. I found a cheap air filter had sagged and a bee 🐝 got in (don’t know if it flew in alive or was sucked in dead). It got hung up on the hot wire of the MAF sensor. I removed it. Cleaned the wire. Engine started up strong.

great tip. i ran into this looking for Ign timing help. maybe you can help. 96 Gt 4.6 mustang runs smooth and peppy but with poor gas mileage. best ever highway was 20mph even. with Torque App i realized my timing never goes above 28 deg. should hit a number in the 40s and that will change mileage. also it shifts to firm while normal driving and that tells me Eng load to throttle is out of sync. Im 70 but not helpless with this stuff but if i was talking to another old guy like me Id say the Vacuum advance is disconnected but of course it doesn't have one so im trying to track down what has taken its place on the my cool /mustang.

I’m burning rubber and I have to put it in neutral and turn it off. I changed out the gas pedal because it’s all I guess electronic sensors to the throttle body my next step is I’m gonna change out the whole throttle body with the sensors, I don’t drive the vehicle I go camping. I’m pretty sure you’ll know exactly where to direct me. Thanks a lot.

Hi I watch your channel I wish you were local this problem Im having on a 2008 f250 v-10 with 60,000 I have unintended acceleration I almost been in accident on this problem ford can’t duplicate this flaw I know it defect problems with ford I changed the foot sensor and pedal all came together. OEM also changed the throttle body with the two sensors on there came with it. Oem I also disconnect the neck negative battery and did the relearn procedure. Any suggestions where I should look or should I only follow up with the recall because there is no recall on this particular year but other vehicles that I’ve seen and they’ve had the same problem have the same motor same drive-by wire system it’s very scary as I use it to go drivemy RV when we go camping and you put your foot on the break real hard when you come to stop because when it starts to rev up, I’m saying 0 to 60 I have to cycle the key off about five times before it goes back to normal then I’ll wait about for three or four days later. The same thing will happen. I’ve had the truck for over six years maybe seven years time to go camping, I was hoping a light would come on, the only feedback I get from anybody is don’t drive it any input much appreciated and thanks a lot for your channels.

[@BlisAx]

My mom has a 2010 focus, and I took it into for an oil change and they checked the air filter. Well they didn't put the tabs back on and it was driving and shifting erratically. When slowing down to a stop it would down shift into first and lock up the tires. It didn't hesitate at all but it really shifted hard. I'm assuming that it's because the PCM could not determine how much torque the engine was producing. The engine light did illuminate.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

batchnerd Yes allot of driveability concerns can occur the focus seems to be especially susceptible to this concern I have fought a many customers in the past that have put on aftermarket air filters with problems.

Ya 2 of my clips were up glad I found your KZbin, Thank you

[@sherriallen5709]

Great video. Your a great teacher. Thank you for your help and professional help.

[@toneseeker2]

Thanks for the informative video FordTech. I have a similar issue with my 2006 F150 (5.4L). Last year in the summer I was driving when suddenly the wrench light came on (electronic throttle control) and I could not accelerate when I pressed on the accelerator nothing happened so I coasted to a stop, turned off the engine then after about a minute turned on the engine the light was off and everything was back to normal. Since that first time my truck has done this about four or five more times. Do you have any idea what this could be?

[@butch5424]

hi . my 2006 has the same problem . just this week . what was the problem with ur ford . please share

[@williamearles7370]

Replace EGR valve

Hello I just performed on my Quest 2004 when I installed everything back together with changing the manifold gasket when I start the car it start with hesitation and dies thanks

[@kimokahikolekalihi]

99 super duty v10 automatic. Runs great. Drives fine until you give it medium to wide open throttle. The revs jump up to avout 3k and bounce off that limit and feels like the trans disengages. No acceleration. Is this a limp mode? Or is it the trans slipping?

[@FBobby]

Wow so you can actually have no signal coming from the MAF and it doesn't throw a check engine light?? Thats crazy

[@96bansheepilot]

Exactly. My 500 runs and surges like crazy but no light.

[@paulcooper3463]

my car sometimes jerks back and forth ive had the coil replaced, plugs leads distributor cap replaced it still does it i wonder if its this problem that your talking about everytime i take it to mechanic there not sure what it is.

[@firstalawal]

my crown vic does the same of your car problem, So what did you find ? help please

[@blafishing7581]

Same situation here...going to check and clean tomorrow....no codes, bad stumble when accelerate.

[@arthurwhitfield8990]

I'm experiencing the samething my 2007 expedition jerks on speeds 20 to 45mph and stops if ur not pressing the gas.. changed coil packs and spark plugs.. I was told it was tires or struts.. but observing the expedition when this is going on the rpm seem to have an slight effect when the jerking goes on the rpm jumps up a lil..

[@justjay5574]

Have the same stumble on my 2000 Ford expedition

[@blafishing7581]

+Just Jay change the air filter...really helped mine

[@Bolsam108]

Thinking to by an older 2009 Fusion. Love the look and size and drive, etc. But the 6cyl engine is slow/ sluggish off the start. I am so surprised by that that, for such a big and strong V6. Is there also other ways to speed it up and make it more lively, or is that just what is to expect? That's my only doubt holding me back. Thanks.

[@dougsadler5923]

Love this guy he knows his shit always look for his videos first, and detail explanation as to what the problem is and the fix

[@heatherbrooks9157]

Would dust in the sensor plug thats connected to the breather cause it to shudder and ruff idea as well?

[@georgemccourt3136]

I have a 2013 F-150 3.5 and it goes into limp mode randomly but doesn’t set a code when I pull over shut it down it restarts and goes an undetermined time. Have done a video on this problem yet?

[@davidvelasquez1668]

Hey buddy what motor oil do you recommend for my 2006 fordf150 it runs great just want to give motor more protection it has the 4.6 l with 170.000 miles on it

[@colewood1551]

Thank you so much my big brother was watching this now his ford expedition reverse works great now, it was shuddering before, now he can drive faster then before

[@markcarter2084]

I have a 99 mustang 3.8 V6 and I am getting a PO 102 code MAF sensor low input. I have put on a new KN air filter and a new MAF sensor and the sensor is getting 12 volts and a good ground. There are two other wires that go to the MAF from the PCM. How could I check them? I may have a slight manifold intake leak. Does the 102 code mean low electrical input or a too low amount of airflow passing the wires on the MAF? I am stumped

[@ScottDLR]

The screen is to reinforce the filter which would collapse when dirty and under heavy throttle. It's metal (alum.) to keep rodents out. Good video!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yeah they are super rigid with the screen on there.

[@dannyl2598]

You are exactly right. I just commented on how I found one without the screen that had collapsed.

[@Skyefuego]

mine 03 eddie bauer. started shaking a bit when parked. sometimes itll shake when i press the gas as well. sometimes it smoothes but you can still feel it at times. where should i look? thanks

[@hankcarter1021]

Just had new "Jasper" engine installed in my 04 F150 (5.4 3v) and have had it back in shop over 8 times because of engine losing power during acceleration... It starts out like a hot rod then when it shifts to 2nd it falls flat on its face and starts surging... replaced, TPS, Tbdy motor, Mass air sensor... ALL O2 sensors, all 4 catalytic converters, manifold, fuel rail pressure sensor, crankshaft sensor .... old motor had 253,000 and NEVER fell down like this one... The dealership even replaced the Power packs with genuine Ford one's...... I just last night bought brand new gel battery 775 cca... no improvement.... I thought maybe the foot pedal position sensor or even ECM but wanted to ask you first for your thoughts..... again, in short... starts off but then falls flat to almost shutting down to idle... until I keep stomping on pedel and get up to about 75-85 then and only then does it maintain power but with HIGH fuel consumption PLEASE .. YOUR THOUGHTS

[@TraderMigs]

Saw this 3 years after upload and DAMN you know your 💩! 😮 Thank you!!!

[@christinaestrada4444]

I have a question I have a 97 Ford F-150 4.6l lariat truck and I drove it to my aunts house to my house and it drove fine and I turned it on the next morning drove out of the drive way and it turned off and now it don’t want to turn back on. It cranks but doesn’t start, can it be the anti theft mode turned on or can it be the fuel pump went out, because I’m using the spare key not the original key, and we bought a new battery, the truck has been sitting for 9 months, my aunt said when my uncle bought the truck they had to change a code for it to work because the key broke so they had to replace the whole ignition and got new keys do you think when we changed the battery it changed back to the other code and went into the anti theft mode or will it be the pump. I need help to fix it

[@tedthornton7791]

How would a airbox 1/3 full of acorns affect a 05 3.0 Freestyle LE ? Thanks

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Mainly reduced power and maybe a lower BARO frequency and skewed fuel trims.

[@punkrocktv8229]

Yes he nailef it. Also look at your coil packs. New coil packs and a clean maf will do wonders many times.
