btmaldon Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 If memory seves me correctly it means Electronic Accelerator Control. It could just be a faulty Alternator or Throttle Body connection. Try cleaning the electrical; connections with some electrical cleaning spray and check for corrosion and/or damp. Hopefully an easy fix.

jeebowhite Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I would (if bought from a garage, take it back! You could end up spending a fair amount rectifying it) sounds like you need to replace the throttle position sensors though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 unfortunately that has bit you a little bit then! there are garages that will probably sell the TPS assembly for about £50 or there abouts, apparently its fairly easy to replace, I am sure someone here would have done it at some point. Thats what I think is wrong, but maybe more opinions are required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockneyferguson Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
