RichieRich Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 On (fairly) hard acceleration the engine seems to stutter and I have to lift off. Sometime the engine seems to go into a 'safe mode' where the revs cut to about 1100 and stay there. I have to pull over and switch off the engine to reset. What is going on, help!! Quote
Guest JIMSTDI Posted September 1, 2003 Report Posted September 1, 2003 if your car car is going into safe mode,i would get it look at asap my friend Quote
RichieRich Posted September 1, 2003 Author Report Posted September 1, 2003 Yes it a 1998 Tdi. I have replaced the MAF recently and this made a big improvement, but it has not affected the stuttering. Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 Suggest diag to see what errors are stored. If the ECU is going into limphome, there will be something stored. Does anything else happen (speedo/warning lights?) Quote
RichieRich Posted September 5, 2003 Author Report Posted September 5, 2003 Had the Ford garage run a check. They say that the sensor on the throttle pedal is defective and have quoted me Quote
