Problem overview

Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing slow acceleration due to various issues, including clogged air filters, dirty mass air flow sensors, and clogged fuel filters. These problems can trigger diagnostic trouble codes, especially if the check engine light is illuminated, providing insights into which components may be malfunctioning. Additionally, some owners report persistent misfires in cylinders 5 and 6, accompanied by a flashing engine light and RPM shakes when accelerating past 56 mph, even after replacing spark plugs and coils. Others have noted that when the wrench light comes on, indicating limp home mode, the vehicle may struggle to accelerate and take time to respond when the acceleration pedal is pressed. Furthermore, while cruising on the freeway, some owners experience a loss of power or a shift into neutral despite the engine running, suggesting issues with the vehicle's power delivery system. These concerns highlight the importance of addressing acceleration issues promptly to ensure safe and reliable vehicle performance.
