Can not accelerate
Hi. The system uses a sensor that positioned on the throttle body to control acceleration. The sensor is called the Throttle Body Position Sensor. That needs to be replaced. But its not as simple as just replacing it. The cars computer then needs to be calibrated to the new sensor. normally this is a simple task however in my experience with your ford it wasn't that simple. It needs to be calibrated using a Special diagnostic tool. This one isnt a DIY fix, you will need profession help. But the good news is its an easy fix and shouldnt take more than an hour and is cheap as well. Its just you need someone with the skill set,
But i should also mention that I didn't need to replace the sensors in most of the vehicles. The solution was to remove the sensor, I sprayed it out with WD40 and contact cleaner, let it dry out and then put it back in, When the vehicle started it idled roughly for a few minutes and then started working fine.
If you wish to attempt that yourself , locate the throttle body (look at where the acceleration cable connects and you will find it). locate the sensor, (only one with wires coming out of it on the throttle body), remove it, clean it, replace it.
