Seagod67 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi all . I've got a Gal 98 2 litre petrol which ticks over erratic and cuts out sometimes . The battery light flicks on just before cut out and steering will lock etc . Any ideas guys ? Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin64 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It could be the idle control valve. Unplug it unbolt it take it off and give the inside of it a good spray up with carb cleaner. Let it dry out and replace. Also might be worth giving the throttle body a clean out too with the carb cleaner as well. I had the same problem on a fiesta and that cured it. Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 if the battery light is coming on and the steering locks up, sounds to me like an alternator / battery fault. As the power to the hydraulics pump is being cut mid flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
