OK, I know this is weird, but...
My wife had an experience in the 08 STA 4.0L: "thought it died, but it was just running VERY rough, and the gas pedal would go to the floor with zero response (just coasting). Looked under hood and engine was vibrating badly, also the 'wrench' light came on. Truck never died, but idled really badly. I turned the key off, then restarted it and it ran fine, like nothing had happened..."
I thought this was odd, but whatever; until it happened to me! Drove home from work, 45 min's, made right turn from stop sign and thought the truck had died... but the tach said around 1500. Romped on gas to see if still running, but no change in tach or any acceleration, still thought it had died. Coasted to stop, turned off radio, opened windows, then realized that the truck was running, just REALLY rough. Pushing the accelerator pedal to the floor had ZERO effect and noted the 'wrench' light had come on. Turned it off, then restarted... ran like new!
HELP????
