Default Fiesta RS Turbo tickover probllem and kangarooing

Hi guys,

Went to start up my fiesta this afternoon, it wouldn't tick over unless I kept my foot on the throttle. Pulled away keeping the revs up a bit so it didn't conk out but it just kept kangarooing. Got about 300 yds down the road before I decided I wasn't sure it was going to make it to the shop and turned round and went home. Can't see any obvious problems under the bonnet such as electrical connections unplugged or or hoses come off so really not sure whats up. Any ideas?

Also I don't know if its related or not but the central locking has been playing up aswell. Normally you car hear it unlocking but although it unlocks it doesn't make any sound or if it does it's after you pull the handle to open the door.

Thanks, Ali

don't know about the lock situation but the kangarooing mentioned is probably the tps mate happens all the time you can test it with a multimeter
