1998 1.25 Zetec Fiesta under load I loose powe on Acceleration as if its miss firing, if I take my foot off the power the engine pick up again, changed plugs ect but still have the problem. any ideas please.
It is the crank shaft sensor or the wires which run to the sensor. i have changed mine and it sorted the prblem straight away. rob

I have a 1997 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec s with the same problem. When driving along at a constant speed there is a loss of power, if I go full throtle it does nothing and if I let off completely and then apply throttle again it will pick up. I just had the lamba sensor replaced and this has made the car run worse.
