    If memory seves me correctly it means Electronic Accelerator Control. It could just be a faulty Alternator or Throttle Body connection.

    take it to a ford dealer and dependant on the fault code logged, they will tell you what its got wrong, there are 3 fail modes for this concern, 99.9 % are cured by have the cars PCM recalibrated, obviously this isnt always the case but they had a massive issue with this wen they first came out. a diagnostics check and recal should only be an hours labour
