Focus 1.6 taco limp mode when cold
Hi
Title should say tdci
I have a problem with my Focus which seems to be fairly common though mine is slightly different! The car starts fine but when I set off and rev over 2000 ish rpm when cold the engine fault light comes on then won't rev above 3000 which I guess is limp mode. If i shove my foot down harder on the throttle it will give a little splutter and the engine then stops completely but a quick off and on with the ignition and it starts again fine and isn't in limp mode but again if I give it more than around 3000 rpm the same thing happens. When warm the engine fworks as it should. Looking on here glow plugs seem to be an issue and I wondered if mine could be the same or because the engine dies completely do I have a different issue? Thanks
