stu41 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hello, I have a 1.3 Duratec engine in my 2002 1.3 Fiesta. It has developed an over rev. It runs fine for a few minutes then constantly runs at between 2000-3000 rpm, even when idle. The temperature gauge goes nuts (digital type) and the engine light came on as well as the temp light. I cant find anything online about it. Water and other fluids are at normal levels and no leaks are evident. I need to get the top cover off so i can get to the throttle body sensor but it wont come off. I have undone most of the clips but it feels like its secured somehow underneath. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffoxy Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Confused by the Thread title. Might be worth changing the coolant temperature sender. If it's not that see if the ECU has stored any Fault Codes. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Top cover being what exactly? The airbox? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu41 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yes. The big plastic bit with Duratec written on it that sits on top of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah that's the airbox. There are two bolts that undo (10mm I think) Then just pull the back vertically hard!! It'll pop off with force. It's just held on with 2 rubber grommets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
