• Ford Focus - 05 1.6 petrol focus idle problem 9 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  The problem I have is as soon as I start the car it idles at 1200 rpm and stays there until the car is up to running temp. As soon as it gets to running temp the revs jump between 1300 to 1400 rpm and the throttle pedal doesn’t work. So I have to turn the car off to get it to go again, but as soon as I stop at lights for more than a couple of seconds it starts revving itself up and down again and the throttle doesn’t work again.

    In this case the "dephaser" on the inlet camshaft went on starting the car on the drive and that was the end of that, this after only being run a few hours earlier.  When severe and on it's way the engine sounds like a diesel running from cold, there are several example videos on Youtube (
