Engine Revs Dropping After Pulling Away

[rob_86]

Hi all,

New to the owners club

Was wondering if anyone has had the same issue or knows what the problem might be?

Just bought a 2012 focus titanium x 2.0 tdci (163) which has only covered 5000 miles. When i press the throttle in to pull away the revs will shoot up to about 1500-2000 stay there long enough to pull away then once your moving will all of a sudden drop to about 900-1000 then will pick up no problem.

Problem is it doesn't happen all of the time, but enough to make you think twice before pulling out of a junction or on to a roundabout. It has happened when the car is fully warmed up after driving 30 miles or so.

Would like to get this sorted ASAP as the car is for my wife who is 8 months pregnant and keeps stalling it.

Any help much appreciated!

mine (08 model 1.8tdci) is the same but if i pull away WITHOUT any throttle then i have no issues with the revs dropping at all!

give it a try

Seems to be a Ford thing, they can't get the EGR mapping right on diesels, even now as a mate has a brand new 1.5TDCi which is the same. Mine hasn't done it at all since blanking the EGR so I'd suggest trying that. I'm not sure if it brings up the EML on a 2.0 though.
