Vehicles have what is known as a TPS Sensor. Throttle Positioning Sensor. When these go out you will experience these kind of symptoms. The vehicle is confused on how much throttle to give the car. It's not the way it was a long time ago - that cable from your gas pedal connects to the TPS and when it goes out that's what happens. Other symptoms will include dying on takeoff, smaller surges - going over a speed bump for instance - you'll hit the brake but the car will surge. If you've noticed any symptoms like that, this may be where your problem is. You have to get the car scanned by someone with a code reader. You can purchase the small, standard code reader from Advance for around $50 - which isn't cheap...but neither is getting a car that won't start to the parts store or garage for them to run code - and I can walk you through reading the code. It's literally plugging it in, turning the key on and then reading/resetting the codes. By scanning - if it's your TPS it will usually have a code. Sometimes, though - like with a Ford Fusion - the problem is so short lived that the computer doesn't store the code for future reference because the system looks at it like an anomaly - that is, not a big enough problem to call home. In this case - you'll have to have a little bit better of a scanner - one that will read in real time. SO you can plug it in, drive around and if the problem pops up - you'll see it before the computer throws the message in the trash. Here's what the standard pocket scanners look like - All The Best, Justin Lee 17 South Industries, LLC Actron PocketScan Plus Code Readers CP9550

Check the child lock switch is off, located near the drivers window control panel.

Have you checked the fuel reset button in trunk on drivers side

Check wiring for a short might have rubbed through and earthing see if it blows a higher amp fuse .

Check the wires going to the brake light switch they brake often and check the switch. Step on the brakes first and make sure you have lights if not proceed to switch and wires at brake pedal

try rechecking the blend door actuator and its connections, fuse, etc. also if your AC system is overcharged it will blow warm air.

Usually, the horn is powered all the way to the horn switch, where the ground wire is connected to the ground. The thing to check is this, or to ground one side (preferably not the live side) of the horn to test this.

Find shop with Mitchell On Demand--They can print it out for you. Cost?

Same as with any MIL Lamp or check light, you get on your dash,you check for codes, to see if you have a system fault,diagnose the fault & make the repairs required Folks have to give up this stuff about resetting things If ANY light stays light on your dash after the motor is running or your driving-- you have problems Clearing-- NOT-- resetting anything- is NOT- a fix for any vehicle issue

The location of the fuse panels should be in the owners manual. Look under the dash on the drivers side as well as the side wall in front of the door. Some cars have another fuse panel in the engine bay.

Try .010 on intake and .012 on exhaust

I thought someone might have moved gas tank so I removed skid plate

It could be the window switch, it could be a blown fuse from changing the cd deck. You might also have inadvertently grounded something out. Might need to check the wiring on the cd deck again.

You slide the red tab back --then the connectoris free to come offUse a screw driver blade very carefully

You should not need to reset anything. One of the sensors mounted in the wheel has a low battery. The sensor only operates while the wheel is spinning. The system resets itself with the ignition off for a long time. If you turn on your car in the morning after its been sitting all night and right away you get a low tire warning before driving, something is wrong. It's a system problem because the sensors don't transmit if the car hasn't moved. If it comes on after a lot of continuous driving, it is a low battery. If it comes on in the first 1/4 mile its a dead sensor battery. This all assumes your tire pressure is correct.

Whenever you replace your tires you should replace your TPMS sensors. You or the previous owner chose not to do that to save a few bucks. Later Crown Victorias used stem type TPMS sensors. All others including all Police Interceptors through 2011 used band type TPMS sensors. The band type are better for rough use vehicles where the exposed valve stem might get damaged. As long as the frequency is the same, the sensors are interchangeable. The batteries can not be replaced

The fix for a bad sensor is to go to a tire repair shop, have them use a tool to scan the sensors to see which one is low or plug into your OBDII. Have them replace the sensor with either type. Drive away. The light should go out within 1/4 mile...unless you have more bad sensors.

Check for leak at rear of intake manifold on both sides,nipple on rear that hooks to heater core gets brittle and leaks or breaks off.
