mintalkin Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 it could be the icv that requires cleaning or an air leak in one of the vac pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi! Thank you for your reply i just cleaned the icv and checked the vac pipe which is also fine and the problem is still there.. any other ideas? check the butterfly valve on the throttle isnt sticking carbon build up can cause it to stay open slightly and cause the revs give it a gentle clean then try if that fails check nothing is jamming the throttkle cable has any one messed around with the throttle stop screw car should idle when warm at 670-730 any higher then turn the throttle stop screw down till the rpm is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mross Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi Have the accelerator pedal sensor checked out, its a ford job though unfortunately, i had this problem on my focus last year and it turned out to be this. Luckily for me it was still under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foceye.95 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 i also have the very iritating problem, any more ideas as to what this could be anyone? appart from the revving my fuel consumption has gone high.. guessing the added revving has caused this?

billyboggins Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 HELP !!! i've got exactly the same problem with my 1.8 2000 reg zetec .which solution cured the problem if any ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamZetec Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 The problem is down to the Throttle Position Sensor and it will need replacing. This is a very common thing that goes wrong on the Zetec engines and I had the same problem with my 1.25 Fiesta. The new sensor costs around £30 and takes 5 minutes to change.
