poacher Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi. I have a 54 Mondeo diesel Ghia X. It has just started to hold its revs between 1300. - 1500 as if the cruise control has taken over. The revs reduce on applying the brake or de-clutching, but if not the cars carries on in whatever gear I am in. Once this starts the tick over becomes lumpy at around 900 to 1000. Any ideas folks will be gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintalkin Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 it could be a few things, first check for any air leakes on the hoses, it could be a sticking or s*** up egr valve (these can be taken off and cleaned) an injector problem or even a sensor playing up.are there any codes stored ?

scott Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi, may not be of any use to you now. But this is one of the issues i am currently having with my 2004 TDCi, Ford assure me it is an issue relating to the EGR valve needing cleaning/replacing. Other associated problems are the car 'hunting for revs' at approx 2200rpm when coasting, increased fuel consumption and a lot of black smoke under acceleration. Ive got some spray which worked on my wifes Zafira when i cleaned her EGR valve (the car not the wife), so i'll try that before i replace it. I got the spray off eBay if anyone is interested. this is the link below: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/air-intake-inlet-val...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
