Johnbie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hi All, Please could you help me i have had this issue for over a year now car drives fine all time i can floor it in all gears no problem but when im at low revs in 6th gear and put foot down as it boosts for about 2/5 secs then it cuts out and goes into limp mode with service now. if you turn ignition off and leave for 30 secs everything fine again. i just brought fault code reader and it says there no previous faults even when its actually happening it finds no faults. Just like some advice to which root i should go down next. Ford focus st diesel 2015 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Use Forscan instead of a generic reader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimpster Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 FORscan is free to download, but you will need to buy a ELM cable around £20.00 ish either the V linker or the modified, DONT buy the wifi version theyre a pain to connect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the F and S actually mean anything apart from the obvious suggestion ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimpster Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 depends on where your mind goes with F + S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanfp Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 When was the fuel filter last changed? I had similar symptoms and a new fuel filter fixed it. Actually, when mine went into limp home mode it was the traction control icon that came on, but I still think it's worth considering.
