Help, I have a 2005 Expedition, XLT. The thing has just started shutting down on me while driving. For no apparent reason, while driving along, it stops running, and after sutting it off, placing it in park, it will start back up.
From what I have found on this site, all things point to the electronic throttle control. I am going to have Auto Zone or Advance Auto parts do a diagnostic and then buy the part there, if the code shows that is the issue.
That brings me to my 2 part question. Auto Zone told me it would cost $100.00 but I think that is just for the sensor, should I replace the whole thing or just the sensor, and is replacing this part somehing that a good mechanic can do?
I use a local guy who is a mechanic for Fed Ex. He does work in his garage as a side job. Before he tells me yes he can do it I wanted to see if this was one of those jobs that needs special tools, equipment or training. Thanks a lot.
