BrianH Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Which engine is it? The mk1 has a cable (at least the 2.0 does). If its the fly by wire type then they can fail - would be a replacement pedal sensor or throttle body if so. Quote
mustdan Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) its definitely cable as i have been under bonnet and under pedal checked the throttle body and that moves freely and revs fine so it has to be cable just cant find one onlinethe car is a 2005 mk2 automatic 2.3l Edited February 9, 2017 by mustdan Quote

I found similar issues with my much earlier 2.0 - Brought a cable from somewhere (not got access to my old emails at present as I'm away from home, Might have been allcarpartsfast or eBay, Not sure). And then managed to find the actual problem was the boot on the cable where it goes into the throttle had come adrift from the post it was supposed to be on, You could push it back on and it would be ok for a few times, but would come off again. A cable tie around the base of the boot seemed to have solved it though as long as you pull it tight enough. I don't know if the 2.3 is significantly different in that area, but I can try to get a photo of it at the weekend. Quote
BrianH Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) 1226678 appears to be what you require - check the attached screenshot. http://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/ford/ford-1226678-cable-control/ You never came back with anything to check against, so I can only go off what you provided, I would suggest if you decide to order the above that you confirm with them that its suitable for your vehicle against your vin/reg number (if you do actually need it of course!)
