Evenin' All.
Wondered if anyone could shed any light on a problem with a friend's 1996 (P Reg) Fiesta 1.3 'Encore'. It's the base model of the previous model shape - a bit of a girlie car, but then, she is a girl... I believe that the engine is the 1.3 HCS unit, not the decent Zetec engine, unfortunately...
She tells me that when the clutch is depressed as she comes to a halt, the engine raises the revs for a while- eventually the revs settle back down. But basically, when she comes off the power, the engine decides that it's having none of it, and brings on the revs...! Apparently this happens even with the clutch engaged, which sounds dangerous.
My first thoughts were: Engine Management / Sensor fault; go to the Ford Dealer and get 'em to plug in the FDS2000.
But I know this is expensive, and we're talking a Fiesta Heap here (I'm a Mondeo Man - much better cars! :)
Any ideas? Maybe the MAP Sensor. Or the idle speed control valve (if there is one?)
All suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Al
