:boosts_ok: Any gearheads on here who might have an idea of what the heck might be wrong with my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium?
It started running really rough as I approached a stop light, it struggled to maintain idle RPM while stopped, and I got a message saying "See manual" with a yellow wrench icon, no engine light.
I drove it the rest of the way home, and it felt like it had reduced power to the engine. I was worried it might stall in the middle of the road, but I made it home okay.
Once I parked, I pulled out my OBD reader, ran a scan, and it came up with three pending codes: P0131, P061B, and P1450.
I unfortunately need a vehicle for work, among other things. I'm really hoping the fix isn't absurdly expensive, especially as I'm just about done paying the loan on this vehicle. >.<
I'm thinking due to the three codes seemingly having to do with sensors and the ECU, I'm hopeful it's a computer issue and not a mechanical (engine/transmission) issue. 🤞 It has been driving fine up until that moment I approached at the stop light.
@maddy Not a gearhead, but my lookups are pointing to the same general conclusion, along with a chance of wrong fuel/air ratio. If you can pardon me for asking a stupid question: did you check the air filter?
@arielmt@computerfairi.es I don't think that's a stupid question. I'm really not a car person, so I don't necessarily know what to check lol. I've had the engine air filter changed with one of my last two oil changes, but I haven't checked it myself recently.
@maddy Sadly, that should be recent enough. Still, it's worth checking so you don't lose money on a simple fix.
I'd check that it isn't obviously dirty or somehow wrong, that the air filter box doesn't have any debris, that the obvious electric plugs don't look loose, and that the hoses aren't loose or falling off.
It seems stupid, but about 2 years ago, I was saved from an expensive tow&repair bill myself when someone pointed out one of my cables had simply popped off the ignition coil.
