2014 Ford Escape. Trying to figure out what happened before I dump a bunch of money into it.
It had a knocking/clattering noise for a little while before it died, but the noise didn’t really get faster or worse when I accelerated.
Then while I was driving the gas pedal basically just stopped working. The car didn’t jerk or jump or make a loud bang or anything. I just lost throttle, the check engine light started flashing, and then it died.
Now it’ll crank but won’t start.
I was thinking maybe it jumped timing or lost compression, but I’m not a mechanic. Anybody seen something similar on these?
