No Throttle

[dead fords haunt you]

hi all

i have got a 1998 on a s plate 1900 tdi 90bhp 121000 miles on the clock :D

well we were on the way home today and i lost all input from the throttle the engine went to high tick over at around 1100 rpm and the glowplug light started to flash so we coasted to the side of the road turned off the engine restarted and all was fine got home and went to park the bl**dy thing only for the same to happen again :ph34r:

My first thought would be a sticky brake pedal switch..or relay

had all that lot replaced last week

Might be the cause then ?

changed both this morning got 10 miles down the road and the same thing looks like i the local fraud garage to me :P

thanks anyway :D

It sounds like the throttle pedal sensor is worn and the ECU is losing contact with the resistance.

That would have been my next choice.... :P

 

Then after that I would be looking at the Relays.

 

I would investigate further before taking to a Fraud Dealer, they will probably say faulty ECU or something similar....it will involve a lot of money anyway and they probably won't fix it.

had nice man from the RAC out today and they told me it was the throttle sensor they come as a unit with the pedal
