joelwool Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 ford 1.6 TDCI - idle at 800RPM - if I slowly put gas on I get nothing, then suddenly I get 1200 RPM, take my foot off slowly and it drops back down to idle. I can not maintain RPM anywhere between 800-1200 however gentle I am with the gas. this can not be right because I have never had this issue before is it just me or what? Thanks for reading.

isetta Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 i had 1.6tdci and now have 1.5tdci. on both I could increase the rpm gradually up from idle -when i would collect by daughter from work in winter when cold I would keep the engine running to keep warm whilst waiting for her and amuse myself on seeing how slowly I could increase the rpm from tickover. I am wondering if it is a faulty throttle pedal. If you had a OBD port code reader (tunnelrat electronics are good) and free software like forscan it will be able to give you live readings from loads of electronic bits so you should be able to see if the voltage output from the throttle pedal suddenly jumps up and not moves slowly upwards (I think). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwool Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 thats interesting, so it doesn't seem right that mine jumps from idle straight unto 1200 and nothing in-between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Definately not right mate, maybe the TPS (throttle position sensor) is on it's way out, essentially if sensor isn't reporting movement for the 1st part of your throttle pedal travel the ECU won't know to rev the engine.
