cookestar14 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hi all I'm new to all this and was wondering if someone could help. I recently bought a 2013 focus 1.0 ecoboost and noticed that it only revs to 4000rpm when parked? It revs fine when driving just wondered if this is normal or is it a problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Welcome to the family! The fiesta isnt my strong point, so I cant advise specifically, however, it doesnt sound right to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookestar14 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the reply, it's a focus 1.0 ecoboost 100bhp if this helps? CookeStar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yeh mines the 125 fiesta ecoboost which Is the same engine and I'm sure mine does that too, nothing to worry about :) il double check for you later when I nip out. It's a safety feature I think, to stop you redlining when not moving with no cold air feed etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 given the events of late where some muppet set fire to his car in the car park, its a good idea that they put a feature like that in!

Nathan54771 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Can confirm it limits itself to 4000, mine got to 4200 and bounced back and wouldn't go anymore foot to the floor. Felt weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan54771 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hahaa no worries, just have to redline it in 2nd (it's much more fun). Safely and sensibly ofcourse ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 a useful feature, it does make sense, but I havent heard of it - I suppose that would be due to a limited number of people wanting to test such a feature? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
