hi i was wondering if there is any body out there who can help me, i own a ford mondeo v6 24v n reg mk 1 the problem is i cant accelerate past 1500rpm when i put my foot down on the accelerator which is scary when trying to pull out from anywhere also the car wont go above 40mph but if i open the bonnet and manually pull the accelerator cable then the engine revs normal any info you have got would be greatly appreciated
thanks andy

Sounds like a stretched cable. Get someone else to floor the accelerator while you watch under the bonnet and see how far the throttle opens then.

If your car has traction control ,then I would suspect there is a problem with the traction control throttle motor and/or circuit.The unit sits behind the o/side headlight & controls the accelerator cable input and the throttle control cable output.
