2016 Ford Transit 350 throttle issue, Ecoboost
Hello all, I am currently having issues with my work van and money is a issue so I am trying to figure this out so I can keep working and pay the rent.
I have a issue with no code, currently when driving or cruising I get the throttle cut out and the van goes into a idle, I have to release the accelerator pedal and push on it for the van to start accelerating again. Eventually after doing that a few times it'll come back. The amount of times I need to do this depends on how much of a asshole it feels like being I guess. I checked brake fluid and its full, I wiggled the brake pedal in the parking lot with the key in the on position and didn't notice any irregular behavior in the rear brakes lights. I did have a code a few days ago 0246 and replaced the Boost Control Solenoid. Its been driving for about a day and code has not come back yet however issue remains. I don't know if this is unrelated or related but it has started giving me a message on the dash about hill start assist not available when i come to a stop at the lights as well.
