Even though my truck is not overheating, the temperature gauge will shoot up to hot and the oil light will come on. After a few minutes, the truck will not let me accelerate anymore. If I shut the truck off, it will reset the oil light and the temp gauge and run fine for a while. But eventually, it will do the same thing again. Is it a sensor or computer problem

 

sounds like an engine problem. the engine has obviously gone into fail safe mode, so you might want to think about checking to make sure the block hasnt been damaged. have you even bothered checking the water or basic steps of overheating? check your oil level lately?

BTW this is the V6 forum.

 

no knocking good oil pressure and has oil had someone check the heads turns out it was a faulty water pump only buy ford parts at a dealer after three hundred dollars it was a 69.99 water pump Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it!!
