Tom1711 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi, last night I tried installing an induction kit (airtec stage 2) after It was fitted I started the engine and it was very rough on idle, the revs kept dropping like it was going to stall. I switched back to the original air intake, and all was fine. Today I tried it again, and once again it was idling very rough. I left it running for a few minutes and it sorted itself out, I took it for a drive and the engine malfunction warning came on the dash and the car felt like it was running minimum power. When I turn the engine off and restart it, it works fine for about 3-4 minutes then the problem starts again. Am I missing something or done something incorrect? It's a 2013 Fiesta 1.0L ecoboost btw Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just flipped the maf sensor around, and all seems well at the moment, just been for a 20-25 minute drive and no problem. Could that have been the issue maybe? Although my start stop won't work now thanks for you help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Turning the car on and off a lot without letting it charge has probably stopped your stop/start from working. The battery has to be basically fully charged for it to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is a procedure to reset the start stop, key to position 2 (one before you turn the car on) press rear fog light 5 times then hazard light 3 times wait until the battery light flashes then turn the key back to off position. Fire up your car and take it for a quick spin see if it turns off when you stop, this worked for someones Fiesta on here so good luck :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
