Andy Lef Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Am in Bath, returning from work near Warminster -experinced serious lack of power from engine (1.4SS). Exhaust warbling and f@*ting some popping, none of the usual grunt that I've come to expect when I press gas pedal . Anyone have any ideas or failing that know of anyone in the Bath area who may be able to help me get it - whatever it is fixed! 🤔 🤔 All help much appreciated from new register but 2 yr owner. Still a novice then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I lost a lot of power (and it wouldn't idle when cold) when the connector to the throttle position sensor came undone. On my 1.4SS it's front offside, under the nosecone. Tony M1 7 SMW 1.4SS Lotus colours with cycle wings. Back on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owelly Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 My grandad complained of a lack of power in his Escort as well as having difficulty getting it into gear. The local ford dealers spent hours tryin to find the fault. I moved his seat forward and hey presto........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
