2012 Focus 1.6 Ecoboost 182ps "engine malfunction service now"

[Threadripper]

Hey guys,

i was driving the car today and as i revved up to 4k rpm the power dropped off, i got the above engine warning light, the power significantly dropped until i got home, i drove it 2 hours later(no engine warning after restart) and it was fine until i gave it hard acceleration and the exact same problem reoccurred. the car has 57k miles.

i wont be able to have it looked at until next week, any ideas on what could be the issue?

thanks in advance for the advice guys :)

Update on this, my issue was an intake turbo hose that slipped off and just needed to be tightened back up, simplest fix imaginable

We that's good news, always nice when a fix doesn't cost anything to resolve!
