05 1.6 engine systems failure - gary gentry
hi everyone,
i have been having intermittent problems with my focus over the last couple of months, which now seem to be getting more frequent, and i wondered if anyone else has experienced this or got an ideas how to sort it out. when i turn the ignition on i get a message saying 'engine systems failure', this is swiftly followed by a message saying 'speed limit mode'. on tick over it idles at just over 1000rpm which fluctuates significantly, when trying to acclerate there is an extremely slow pull off, with a maximum speed of 20mph reached. i have usually be able to correct this by turning the engine off and restarting again after a couple of minutes, with the car running normally and no error messages displayed. however this is becoming more frequent now, and i dont fancy going to ford's to be charged an arm and a leg to fix something simple i could do myself. so if anyone has had the same problem or ideas how to sort it out i'd be very grateful.
