I've got a ford focus cl 2002 plate and seem to be having some problems accelerating, its very slow from the start and it never used to be and it revs 5-6000 at the slightest movement on the accelerator, any ideas?

Jamie

Most places would do a diagnostic code check for reasonable money,find a local garage who has the necessary equipment....

Where are you based ?

Probably need a sensor replacing,but at least you will know what you are up against once it`s been checked..

Should be loads of places in your area...
