Kris_R Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hey folks the past couple of days my car has been giving me alot of greif. When driving to work doing 60mph as soon as i put the car in 5th gear theirs no power and the car drops to 45-50mph with my foot welded to the floor then i have to drop to 4th to get anything out of it. Anyone know why this is? My car is a 2004 1.25 lx 16 valve Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13 HPD 95 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 tried cleaning the throttle body? ive u have a diag mechine check for any error codes, you could also check the enigne oil give it all a clean over, check the fuel filter, like said could try replacing bits at a time and see what cures it, if it carries on after you change and check some bits id take it to somewhere to get a heath check on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
