Julian0476 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 My ford focus st line 1.0 ecoboost seems to be idling roughly obviously the engine is shaking slightly, an also it only revs up to around 4000. Has anyone had this problem before an whats the possible causes of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is this a new problem ? Most 1.0 ecoboost seem to idle rough from the many comments posted on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian0476 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 I know 3 cylinder engines are not so smooth at idling, but it's a rough idle an won't rev over 4000 just shakes when those revs are reached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxyblieu9 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is it a Mk3 or Mk4 2018? I’ve been in a few 1.0’s and they all sound wrong at idle you think it’s misfiring 😂 will it pass 4000 when driving? Could just be a soft limiter, does it seem down on power?

It's a mk3 2018 I'll put it on a scanner later even though it dont have any light on, don't think it misfiring as it drives fine not sure if it will pass 4000 when driving I don't really boot it tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don MC Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Could the rough idle perhaps be the cylinder deactivation function kicking in? My 2022 Focus sometimes idles a little rough (when warm) and I assume it’s because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cylinder Deactivation does not happen at Idle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don MC Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 OK. Then it was something else I was experiencing. To be precise, it has happened only once for me. Warm engine, below freezing weather. Parked with engine on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s probably just a soft limiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
