fernehh mk7 fiesta Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi I have the mk7 fiesta 1.6ZS I started driving and 30seconds later a message popped up saying "engine malfunction" and it was like there was no turbo or something the car was really slow and little response from accelerator just no power. I parked up and turned car off and back on there was no warning and the power was back to normal, what's up with my baby?

E5GDM Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Sounds like it went into 'limp home' mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningMat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 There could be a multitude of reasons for an error like that - Best bet would be to get it to a main dealer for them to run diagnostics on it. Limp home mode is where the ecu vastly reduces power, revs, etc - It does this when there is a 'major' fault, to enable you to drive (or limp!) the car to safety, whilst also trying to reduce the impact of further damage to the engine or other components. Pretty much all modern cars have some form of limp home mode programmed in for various fault conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
