vehicle entered 'limp home mode'-most likely caused by throttle body failure, a known defect, with Ford extended warranty for part. it was cheaper for me to replace part myself, rather than pay ford to diagnose the problem
Car started sputtering one morning and the check engine light came on and blinked. Took it to the dealer the next morning. They said there were fault codes for multiple fuel injectors misfiring, but looking at the car they found one injector in particular that had frayed wiring (perhaps from rodent damage). They replaced the frayed wire and cleared the codes, car began running normally again and code hasn't returned.
