as above folks
had a ka in a while ago and whan driving the car seem to strangle itself and cut out when revved to say 4k
put it on the c.o machine and the c.o was 12%
check the throttle body and idle control valve all alright
when its struggling its still got a excellent spark
it will re start on the button too
it was serviced not long ago
had a pattern lamda senser on
feels like good pressure coming out of the exausht when revved
dis connected the lamda senser and it never cut out and the c.o dropped to about 10 to 11 %
any suggestions
shes asked me to order a pattern cat and lamda senser

Ginge !

mate its eitehr speed sensor in the gear box ISCV

i can get you a good price for a lambda sensor (bosch) and cat for you if you like but that aint it

lambda sensor affects low idle, not fast idle i belive ( though not sure if im honest without my books at work )

usually cutting out on KA's is speed sensor ( though not sure why, but comon fault when i was at ford) or ISCV

true but if its statonary (spelling) and you rev it it starts to sound like its struggling and would this make it run at 12% fella
some one said to me its the a/l meter but it still does this when its dis connected


if you wouldnt mind fella on the prices i got tim to ring his mate up and he did me no favours at all

Ginge !

whos tim ?

what year is the KA as theres a few different cats based on year

Ginge !

tps, mate ill ring a man at ford tommorow, hes top with stuff and helps me alot at work,,,,,,, then i get the praise for it

ill have a word, could also be TPS on the endura too i think

whats is do at traffic lights when warm ?

if its normal scrap the ISCV idea

gup

its fine when idling and so on mainly happens when revved up
on the co machine its good at idle but the minute you rev it the co goes sky high thats why i was thinking its the cat and lamda i didnt have too long to play with it

it also had about 2 litres of too much oil in it too
poss gonna check the tappet clearence when i get it again soon
can the tps be set or has it gotta be set using all the volts and ohms measurments

Ginge !

fit new one

aint you got techs there ???

PM me your work number and oll call you when i find out info

too much oil is not a good thing anyway but that means you over filled it

gup

oi ive been recommended by a mate to fix this as a local garage near her proper ripped her off shockingly
i had a quick look but i need tio go in depths with it now and im sitting at home all this week as ive poss slipped a disc in my back

plus i work for peugeot and gotta help all the other no brainers thier mazda and auto planet they think because i like fords i must be master a tech and and bacause ive worked in loads of other back street garages

if thelambda isnt working correctly then surely the fuel will be all over the place

i know when lambdas go down on rovers they run really rich as theres no control tofuel

so could be an issue with the lambda

gup

iTrader: (1)

thas what im thinking because when its connected its starts to struggle and cut out on fast idle

then when its disconnected its fine but i had left it disconnected and she says that after almost a week after i looked at it it cut out again

b

Ginge !

lamda can but thats ALOT to do and it wouldnt flood the engine when driving on motorways,though speed sensor might confuse it i think and cause issues

i removed the lambda from my BMW, fueling was bad but not running that bad hence my assumption

lambda works lower rev rage i thought as in controls the closes loop,,,, higher up the revs it should switch over and the AFM takeover ?

not sure though as i aint got my books at work to help me and pretend i kknow what im talking about

gup

iTrader: (1)

true its just baffling me abit as i only had a little bit of time to play with

did try and dis connect the a/f meter and it still done it

i also need to plug it into a computer so i can see whats what
and c which senseer is working

turboben

oi oi how you going fella

just spoke to dan and he said speed sensor

if you want pop down the yard and have a word with him he knows fords inside out

gup

cheers dude would this make the car run proper rich when on fast idle tho

Was there a rattle from the cat recently? had this on my mondeo last week, nothing past 4k....turned out to be the cat broken up.

Also, as it's an engine problem on a Ford I always slave a spare coilpack in and try that as a matter of course.

alright fella cat nice and tight and the co fine when idling
when the sympton apears the spark good and strong as thats the first thing i checked

Kamike

Think i had a similar problem with my Ka at high revs it would just cut out even iv i reved in neutral so the garage i took it to said that the idle had droped and needed uping. Now im not very techy so thats all i can tell you , but since then the Ka hasn't missed a beat.

cheers dude but it sounds like yours cut out when actually idling ie stand still

this little terror cut out when driving at high revs

Kamike

Kinda but if i put my foot down and took the revs really high when i went to change gear it cut out so i had to dump the clutch to bump start it lol.
