Hi, im new.

I bought a little run around fiesta 1.25 16v Zetec last night.

When you accelerate the car seems to miss\hold back for a split second before it goes. It does this throughout the rev range, it's driveable but very annoying as the car should be so much quicker.

Also when it got to 4000revs it was almost like it had hit the limiter, just went flat. Then it's fine, then it's not again.

It doesnt stall or cut out but at idle the revs tinker very slightly up and down.

I will be changing the fuel filter tonight and giving it an oil service. Any ideas what the hesitation problem could be?

Someone suggested mis-aligned throttle sensor?
What about cleaning the MAF with carb cleaner?

Cheers
