Psycho jeff Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have trawled through the topics but cant find an answer to my problem. My Focus titanium has a problem with acceleration, basically it has non, the car drives ok but it takes ages to get up to speed and wont go faster than 70mph, there are no warning lights on the dash to indicate a problem. It was an intermitant problem to start with but does it all the time now, I don't think it has anything to do with limp mode! not that I would now anyway!. I have been told it could be either the mass air sensor or the throttle position sensor! could one of these possibly be the cause! any info would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you last change the Air Filter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't hurt but I can't imagine the air filter could be THAT bad in less than a year, so I don't think it'll be the culprit to be honest.

F0CUE Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I would say something is up with the EGR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT70 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 When was the fuel filter last changed? Check all the boost hose connections and hoses for splits, after that it may be the turbo is shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanE Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi all, I have a 61 plate Focus, 1.6 zetec, each morning now when I start it and set off, for about a minute I get almost no power when I press the throttle, it resolves itself and drives pretty much fine after that. No fault codes are coming up during diagnostic.聽 Good job I live on a quiet street where I can get it up to speed, any help or suggestions gratefully appreciated.
