Hello,
I've been having problems with my fiesta for a number of years, it began with the engine hunting when it was idleing. So I took it to a friends garage who specialises in petrol engines and tuning, and he disconnected a valve and replaced the Lambra sensor, it ran a little better, but the engine still hunted slightly. A year or so later it began having difficulty pulling away and it felt restricted, only to suddenly shoot off!! Also the hunting became so bad that it started to stall when idle because it was revving so low.
I again took it to a specialist tuner who ran about million diagnostic tests, charged us about £300 and said the car was cured... or not, it was no different so the car was returned to him and he sort of made it a little better. The hunting was still there but the car ran alot smoother.
Soo... that was approx two years ago, and the cars been running very well over the last year. At one point the hunting disapeared and it ran better than the day I bought it 6 years ago!! Untill last saturday!! The hunting had been recurring over the last month or two. And now when I brake and de-clutch it just stalls. All the time. I have to brake and rev alternatively to stop it from stalling.
I took it to a Garage on monday and they were sure it was shoddy wiring in the lambra sensor, so they fitted a new one. But the problem was still there, so I took it back yesterday. After a day looking at it and taking it apart they dont know what could be the problem, and today a specialist electrition has been called to look at it.
We are sure it is not a blockage anywhere, and its not the ECU. Diagnostics have shown the engine is running as sweet as a nut!! But its not!!
Any imput would be great!! I know its in the best hands with the garage, but just wondering if anyone on here had a wider knowledge of zetec engines???
Thanks!
Lauren
