tommygun Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hello everyone i am new to forum and hoping for some help.I recently bought a fiesta 04 1.4 tdci it was bought as seen so no going back. For the first few days every thing was fine then i got the eac fail flashing which sends it into limp mode i know this is something to do with the accelerator pedal i have done some reading up on it and basically it can be numerous things a friend as a code reader but no codes where stored.What happens is i go to start car in the morning while it is ticking over no problem but as soon as i touch the accelerator pedal it flashes the EAC fail message which means it is in limp mode so a can not drive it,if i leave it for a hour or 2 start it again no warning again on tick over till i touch pedal then same cycle again.So far i have changed pedal and cleaned every plug connection i can find with electrical cleaner which as not helped.Would really appreciate any advice on things i can try or advice on the cycle of the problem when and how it happens does this suggest 1 particular part is more likely to be at fault than another.Not keen on going to main dealer if they are going to suggest change that then change that and hope they get lucky if you know what i mean thanks to all in advance.

DanGersFord Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Have you changed the pedal sensor (not just the pedal)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommygun Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Had codes read at another garage with better equipment a few codes came up but most of them cleared he said they where due to me unplugging stuff to clean connections. The only one that will not clear is P0200 injector circuit malfunction will this be what is causing my eac fail if so what can i do to rectify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
