Vehicle is at a complete stop and it will not move. After a while it will start. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything. Consumer also states that the throttle sticks and will hang when applied off idle position. When it unhangs itself a metal sound can be heard from the engine. The problem worsens when engine is hot, and suggests that Ford companys are apethetic about the situation and that this is a very serious & dangerous problem.

Ford has a technical service bulletin that describes the "high idle" condition when depressing clutch or shifting gears for the Ranger. This should be reevaluated for "recall" action as the throttle position sensor will remain at high RPM while in nuetral unless you place the vehicle back in gear. You can pull up on the accelerator or push it further down in attempt to get it to return to idle but all that does it make the condition worse (high idle is one thing but an engine racing with throttle position sensor thinking accelarator is pushed way down is another). This condition is caused by a poor electrical connection at the wire harness to throttle position sensor. It is a safety recall issue vice a technical service issue.
