Clutch Issue

Hi Guys,

Needing some adive.... My Cam Belt went a few weeks ago and took out a couple of cylinders, this has since been fixed for a nice price of £750... When I started driving it I found that when I'm in 4th or 5th coming up to a junction, foot on clutch to change gear, revs go down to below 400 and the car stalls/cuts out. Ford ran a diagnostics and didn't find any issues and said to go back to my local garage and get them to redo the timing. This was done and the problem still persists. Wednesday night the connector clip on the clutch pedal snapped, for had my car yesturday and changed the clip and replaced it with a new Clutch Master Cylinder (£150) and said that was what was causing the car to stall in 4th and it is all fixed now.... Great...

Took it to work and it still does it.... Any one had this before? Any ideas?

The cost of fixing is currently out weighing the worth of the car, but I don't want to scrap my little Jaffa Cake car :(

    Hi Philly

    I would not scrap a car after you have spent so much on it as that would be silly and wastefull

    Could well be a duff sensor.

    Did it cut out like this before the cambelt went.

    no, its only happened since the cam belt went...

    when ford fixed the clutch clip they said it was causing confusion with the sensor, but by fitting a new clutch master cylinder it has a new sensor... thats what they told me... they lie....
