This may have been addressed here before, but a search did not find what I was looking for.
I recently picked up a 2003 Edge with a 3.0 and 5 speed. I don't really beat on the truck, but I have found that it won't pull past 4,000 rpm. Actually, it's like the truck is hitting a brick wall. It is far more violent than a rev limiter; and, anyway, IIRC-the limiter is far higher than that. It also seems like it's slightly down on power. Unfortunately, I don't have much to compare it too since I am driving a big truck (18 wheeler, semi, tractor-trailer, rig) 6 days a week. Everything underhood looks fairly new; but it was detailed prior to purchase, so even old parts can look new. I was thinking about throwing a coil on it to see what happens, but was wondering if anyone else had this problem before and what did you do to cure it.
Thanks in advance.
