Default fiesta rs turbo efi throttle sensor faulty???

hi as above i have a ford fiesta rs turbo efi 1.6 cvh.

recently the car has became very erratic when foot is just on the throttle, if you take foot off or accelerate any further it runs smooth and well but just the moment your foot is just on the throttle say 5th gear at 60 mph ish it is jerky

could this be a duff throttle position sensor, has anyone else experienced this before?

its really hard to drive smooth youve got to either have foot off or be at faster speeds or under hard accelration

a common efi cvh problem, cant remember now what the cause of mine was though, try just replacing all the sensors/ plugs/ leads etc all one at a time too see if it cures it.
wont cost too much, if you still got a problem then there is probably an air leak somewhere giving faulse readings to the map sensor
