hi there im haveing problems with a 1.7 puma when i go 2 pull away the car seems really slugisan not want to pull away then after bout 10 secs i get a load off power and then it goes but it doesnt do it all the time i have changed the clutch and slave cylinder i thought it might be the clutch but its still doing it any advice welcome thanks

 

erm no i wont be clutch!!! clutch slip and the revs would rise but youd accelerate slowly (or not at all depending how bad it is )

Sounds like youve got a sensor fault. could be HEGO, MAF, Throttle position etc etc.

Try disconnecting battery for 15 minutes to clear any codes as sometimes that can resolve it for a one off intermittant fault thats playing fun with the ECU.

If youve got a 99 onwards puma with digital dash then put your dash into diagnostic mode and read the fault codes to find out which sensor is playing up.

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the double post scourge has returned

 

Throttle position sensor would be my guess.

On the bottom of the air intake / throttle body to the inlet manifold:

 

thanks peeps

 

now the car has stated to decide an surge. an now for me to pull off i have to floor it just to get anywhere would this still be the throttle position sensor
