Car shutting off while driving

[kennycoulter]

The problem that comes from that is price:
They do not have a definitive answer, which is the same inconclusive situations that I am finding online. I could buy the parts for $50/each and replace them myself and learn more about my car, Or I could pay about $150 for every part to be replaced, plus keep paying $87 every time it needs to be diagnosed again. I definitely do not have the money to pay someone else to keep guessing.

I can't seem to find this part online.

If I could find the part, I could order it and have it done on my lunch break (like I did with my other sensor). I have a lot of experience, but the heavy electronic nature of this and all other newer vehicles is very prohibitive of normal diagnosis work.

I will be calling another dealership to see if they can locate the part, as this local dealership also did not have it in stock.

What exactly is this sensor and where did you get the part number from? What is the build date for your Fusion?

 

BTW, the motor on the EB throttle body, if separate from the TPS, can fail on occasion. Have you checked the throttle body/sensor/motor?

I seriously can't believe that this issue is not generating an error code of some kind.

[WWWPerfA_ZN0W]

Very common for throttle body related problems to not set an error code when an event happens. Until Ford updates the programming to catch such events that is.

Found this, may be useful to you.

I will print that out and take to the dealer.


THEY DID have the part in stock, and I was able to buy it yesterday. The part only showed a partial number (same number) online, but the packaging and exploded diagram were different.

The part I have right now is: BU5Z-9F972-B

I guess the other part (more expensive) ends with an "-A"

The fordparts.com site only showed: 9F972 for both parts.

Thank you to everyone. I will try this sensor since they claimed some sort of default error reading and I will ask them about the throttle again. I will check my build date soon.

So far, everything is good.

This sensor is located a little inboard from the master cylinder. It is a little below the intake sound pipe (whatever it is called).

It requires a 24mm deep socket (I actually used a worn out 15/16" open end wrench, but the length is very limiting).
the sensor is mounted in a boss welded to the tubing. the boss only has two flats on the side that equal 12mm. you need to use both tools to loosen and retighten the sensor, as the rest of the line is soft line and will twist.



GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I replaced the last sensor, it was good for a few days and then acted up again.... I will report back after the weekend, in case this happens to act the same as that install.

Did you have any more problems after replacing that upstream sensor?  I just did mine a few days ago and so far so good.
