rangoon Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 James my fiesta is a petrol engine, can you let me know the cause of flat spot and how to fix it, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Are you sure it's even a flat spot and just not the fact it's an 11 year old 1.4 Ford? Most likely thing it's wanting new leads and plugs if it's struggling under load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I agree with Matt here, its quite likely that its old components that are worn out and costing efficiency and performance. I would say give the car a fantastic service, treat it to new plugs, leads, filters, juices and then try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
