Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I had my Ford Expedition serviced last time at 149003 km, since then the symptoms have appeared. I haven't seen any fault codes, the battery charge status seems to be fine. I'm not quite sure about the test cycle and test operating conditions, I'd have to ask the garage again. But the cost of defective cable connections doesn't sound too bad if that's the solution. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! Your mileage sounds like a point at which such things can simply occur. If you don't have a fault code, that's actually good news, but with the test cycle and test operating conditions, I'd definitely double check. Well, for me it was the cable connections and it helped, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the same for you. Your symptoms could also indicate problems like a clogged fuel system, faulty spark plugs or a faulty fuel pump. Hard to say without seeing the car. But yes, a garage would definitely be my recommendation. At least they can diagnose it more accurately. To keep the costs down, you can get several quotes, as the prices vary quite a bit. Hopefully you'll get it sorted soon, good luck!

Hey, I really appreciate your quick and detailed reply, thank you! You're right, my symptoms could have several causes. I will make an appointment at the garage and also ask what the test cycle and test operating conditions reveal. Hopefully it's nothing serious and the cost will be limited. Your advice to get several quotes is also a good point. I will keep you posted. Thanks again for your help!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Ford Explorer (built in 2014). I would describe myself as someone with little experience with cars. I took the car to the garage straight away because I didn't want to deal with it myself. They found that the wiring connections were faulty, which cost exactly 95 euros to fix. I strongly recommended that you provide the information on the test cycle, test operating conditions, fault code (if any), battery charge status and technical data from your vehicle. With this information we can help to identify the problem more accurately. Hope that helps!
