seasider Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi all,my wife's ford KA 3 keeps cutting out when slowing down to junctions. It seems to do it as you put the foot down on the clutch and the revs drop,even thou the clutch is well down. It has started to do this more often now and its starting to get very dangrous. Any help would be greatfull........ Many thanks Paul..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 sounds like the idle speed controlle valve playing up its a common problem, try cleaning it with carb cleaner. it could also be the speed sensor starting to break down.
