mark1316 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Guys and Girls Im just new here and have a problem with the above car. Had EAC fail come up on the dash and car went to limp home mode. No warning light tho. Called the RAC out and they put it through the computer with no fault code ??. They put it down to the leaking injector that was spraying fuel out. Took it to the garage and had the seals done . Got it on the open road and felt like there was no turbo . struggled to get to 70mph on the motorway. Then the EAC fail popped up again same story. stopped on the hard shoulder and turned off left for 10 min and it started again and drove it back to the garage. they used there computer and no fault code. tried to get home again and done the same . Got the car back to the garage and they are looking at it now again but still no code ??? Please Please please guys can anyone throw any light onto this fault ? I have been doing loads of reading and have seen the following things that could be the cause , 1/ Throttle pedal ? 2/ airflow meter 3/ turbo ? All of the above cost a !Removed! bomb after forking out for the injector seals Thanks In advance Mark ( The new boy ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-H Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi EAC stands for electronic accelerator control. The problem is related to the accelerator pedal and fly-by-wire system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1316 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 HiEAC stands for electronic accelerator control. The problem is related to the accelerator pedal and fly-by-wire system. So the pedal should help it ? or will it be something else along with it ? Pedal now ordered will change and post back the results. been all through the web and see loads of problems but not one person bothered to say what fixed it ????

mark1316 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 pedal replaced still the same intermitant EAC fail and seems to be low on power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 pedal replaced still the same intermitant EAC fail and seems to be low on power It will be low on power while EAC fail is being reported as it goes into "limp home mode". Try cleaning the throttle body/sensor as this normally gets rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EAC fail causes the car to run at no more than 2000 rpm but whe nthe fail is not on the car still seems to lack power . I can get it to 70mph on the motorway but its a struggle . This wee car was like all 14 TDCI,s a flying machine . Its off into Ford,s today for a full diags as its really doing my head in and cant use the car more times than not . Any Idea where the throttle body/ sensor is on a TDCi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1316 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 talk to fords there is a tsb about the contacts in the wireing loom not being up to the job and an updated loom is now available. funny you mention that but that's what they called and told me. they said a big multi pulg was damaged and that was the issue. they want £152 + vat for the part then I have labour on top of that. don't think its right you need to pay for a known fault ???
