Ford Focus 2000 TD DI Accellerator pedal - mccaff
I have recently bought a Focus, and am experiencing a problem with the accellerator pedal. At about 40mph, normal revs (1800 - 2000) for no apparent reason the accellerator stops working, and the warning light that looks like a spring lights up.
The car does not stall, but it fails to register the pedal again until the car is restarted. After killing the engine, and then bump starting, the pedal works again.
Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?
Thanks

I have similar erratic problems with my Focus TDDI 2002 - it seems to be the 'drive-by'wire' throttle pedal that is prone to failure. I think they're around £80 from Ford dealer.

I haven't changed mine yet as it only over-revs to around 1100 occasionally, but the fault seems to vary in its severity from car to car. It looks like a 10 minute job to change it over as theres only 3 nuts and the wiring connector to swap.
