Ford Fiesta, revs going to 5k all by them selves

is this a known problem? guy i know is getting this problem with an auto with hand controls, and 2 main ford dealers cant work out what is wrong

wrong section

got rule the hand controls first to see what's really going on, can they be disconnected?

lol

i've heard of a few doing it, if its cable throttle, have a look at the ICV, if its fly by wire, check the throttle posistion sensor and stepper motor.

after checking the basics, vacuum leak, loose manifold, tb etc.

unless it's a diesel, then look at fuel system

My dads was doing the same thing last year turned out to be a cracked breather pipe.
Twas a Zetec 1.8

vacuum leaks are a common problem on the petrol models. 5000rpm is a big leak, should be easy to spot.

thanks for the replies, but he got fiesta not focus when did fiesta get so big? it look like focus to me

same time as punto and the rest of the sector, supermini's arent mini any more.

Dave talking about a non fiat

only to help some one in a wheelchair.

dovercourt ford in colchester treat him like crap. he stopped out side window an sounded horn, a lady looked out and he showed his blue badge, lady shouts at him there nothing i can do you have to go over there and points to another building, she says i only do crash repairs, he then has to get his wheel chair out and try and find a way into this other building, there was no sign telling him that disabled access was right around the back.
all the lady had to do was ring over to the other building and say he was out side but she did nothing

he has had loads of new fords off them too.

think i might be able to convince him to go fiat now. colchester fiat dealer has ramps to every door even pars department
