Ford Escape No Throttle Response & Wrench Light P2111 P2112 FIX

If you're 2005-2012 Ford Escape feels like it's running out of gas and the accelerator pedal doesn't respond while driving down the highway, this video is for you! Or possibly this video is for your friend who's Ford Escape or Mazda Tribute that's doing this. This is a common issue that had an extended warranty recall that's now expired. (10 years or 150k miles) Don't fear though. We'll show you what to do. This Escape... escaped diagnosis twice! The first time customer complaint was a possible transmission slip or fish bite. It only had codes for an exsisting evap problem and both O2 sensors stuck rich and lots of corrosion that was addressed as well as 4 new tires. (spendy finding) The second time, it had no check engine light or active codes for the powertrain and a bad battery that couldn't maintain a charge long enough to do a full deep scan, but had half the systems all indicating something wrong. This is usually battery related and the battery was charged, but not holding a charge and almost TEN YEARS OLD so it was also replaced. The third time it came in... nothing was in the way and it finally had confirmation of a throttle body related code of 2111 and the complaint was not slipping transmission, but the gas pedal was going completely dead. That's easy to give a confident diagnosis! It's the famous Ford throttle body issue that's been in the courts and already been identified and kicked down the road like a tin can for over a decade.

I went from a 96 Z71 to a 2010 Tundra and the fly-by-wire was a learning curve for me. Now I love it.

Great job , thanks for sharing 🇺🇸🙏

Good stuff.
Happy Motoring.

Fomoco I think Ford Motor company. I just did one that the part was from on line and locked up in less than a week. Quality counts. Nicely done Brian.

Brian. I get very focused on your vid Then comes a Kangaro/Squirrel cartoon. Thank you!

[@domesticterrorist483]

Nice intro!

[@_m_K_.]

I am starting to wonder do all these drive buy wire throttle bodies need to be mandatory replaced at certain intervals. I had a 2010 Prius that had a triangle of death and had to replace the unit. It was scary the car stopped on a damn busy street in San Francisco

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Losing power can be scary but not as bad as losing steering on fly by wire.

that intro though :D

Drop of clean engine oil on the seal , wiped almost to a nothing film, also helps. Easy way to recal is to pull battery for 20 minutes, then reconnect. Then turn engine on, and you should hear the motor run from full closed to full open, then back, then move to idle position. Generally works on most vehicles, the ECU wanting to get a recalibration of the learned throttle body sensor readings. Some now send this info digitally, not using an analogue voltage. And yes cleaning with first issues helps, and silicone oil will be burnt in the cylinders into silicon carbide, which is grinding paste, which will promptly land in the exhaust and the engine oil, making a fine abrasive powder, that the oil filter is unable to filter out, as it is too fine, so it circulates in the oil, wearing all the metal parts

Dont forget the PCV hose. 🤙

Hi B, I’ve got an 08 forester with a p0026 code. Took apart the vvt solenoid housing and cleaned it, the oil sensor screen was broken and shoved into the vvt solenoid. Put it back together and the code came back a week later. I’m also getting a severe loud metallic tapping that only happens under load with the car in drive. Can VVT issues cause these sounds? It doesn’t occur in neutral or park with the engine revving.

Brian, a very strange anomaly here, your 'bonus footage at the end' has been swapped to the beginning.

[@baldeagleApiaries]

Yeah, many time Nunnettal works best. 🙂

[@briansmobile1]

Nunnettal? Is that slang for none at all?

[@calholli]

Most likely all you had to do was clean it. That little build up of carbon prevents the butterfly from closing and that's why the code says "stuck open". So the guy just lost 200 dollens when he could have loosened a couple of clamps and wiped it clean.
