Question TBS(?) Fault

January 22, 2005

I have a brand new 2005 F350 Diesel auto. Only 7500 miles on the clock. I was cruising nicely in 4WH in a snow storm when suddenly engine loses power and quits in the middle of NJ Rt46. Message on the dash said "TBS Fault", I think. I can restart but it will only run for a few minutes. Owners manual says nothing. Had to get towed home, $135. Ford Roadside Assistance useless, unable to help. Very embarrassing as Honda Civics fly past tooting their horns. Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Feeling not so,
Kraftig

Sounds like a Turbocharger Boost Sensor fault. However, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what caused it or how to fix it.

I'm surprised to hear this. My one time experience with them was perfect. I'm curious as to what they said and why they wouldn't tow it?

Sorry to hear about your problem.
