If you're experiencing what I and others have, it's not an engine cut out. It's a 2 second transmission delay when shifting up, when at a seemingly certain engine/trans temperature.
It will happen once with a vehicle that has been sitting for a few hours and never again during the rest of your driving session.
For me, it happens when the truck has been sitting from my morning commute and I go for lunch (about 4 hours after parking). The water temp is about 100 and the same with the trans temp.
If you sit back firmly in your seat and gently brace yourself, you won't notice it. I noticed, when I first started off on my commute, I was leaning forward in my seat and when the "cut out" occurred, I was unprepared and was lunged forward.
After it hits that "spot", you should be good and it won't happen again.
Most here will tell you that all the Ford transmissions act this way when cold.
I don't think it has anything to do with temps. It just appears that way. I think the programming of the shift under those conditions needs to be looked at and adjusted. Unfortunately, it's just the nature of ECTs (electronically controlled transmissions).
I checked for codes are there aren't any because the computer/trans isn't doing anything wrong... according to it. I'm just waiting for the system to say to me "Sarah Connah"... then I will run in the opposite direction.
If your issue happens more than once and cold, hot or whatever, you may have bigger issues.
