2006 ford focus won't accelerate

My car started yesterday remaining at 50 mph until I removed my foot from the gas and pressed it again, in which it began to accelerate. Last night, however, it wouldn't accelerate beyond 30 mph. It will still crank, and there's no engine light or any warning light on. What could the problem be??

I would take the truck to an autoparts store and have the fault codes retrieved from the computer. Most stores will do the scan for free. I would lean toward a faulty throttle position sensor, but that's just speculation. The fault codes should narrow the problem down. Hope this helped and best wishes.

You may be losing the speedo cable. Others have reported the light flashing related to this. You may also want to check tranny oil condition (color should be clear red, and smell should not have a burnt smell to it)...

SOURCE: Engine warning light comes on, diagnostic says

if your car give you i code thats says mutlipul misfire on number 1,2,3,or four cyl. that means that that cyl is not firing when its suppost to so if the code says number 3 cyl misfire or multipul misfire replace number 3 spark plug and coil pack and 80% of the time that will solve the problem.

Testimonial: "At least i now have an idea, i didn't get any info from the dealer about codes only workshop jargon. The car wasn't fixed and they still charged me."

Ford focus cruise control

Once you have turned your cruise control on accelerate to desired speed press SET button on right hand side of steering wheel before lifting foot from accelerator, then remove foot from accelerator. pushing RESUME button will deactivate cruise control without turning it off. Then when clear of traffic push resume again to activate cruise control. It will automatically resume to previous set speed.

1998 Ford Expedition XLT Eddie Bauer truck kicks/stutters after I take my foot off accelerator at 70mph-why?

You need to have the engine control computer scanned for fault codes, if nothing shows then it is very possible you have a failing fuel pump.
